Kosciuszko

Older than Kosciusko
Darwin down to Alice Springs
Dealers in the clearing house
The settlements explodeHigh up in the homelands
Miners drive across the land
Encounter no resistance
When the people block the roadOlder than Kosciusko
Dry white seasons years ago
Darkness over Charleville
The fires begin to growNo end to the hostility
Now they wanna be somewhere else
No stranger to brutality
Now they'd like to be someone elseOlder than Kosciusko
Driven back to Alice Springs
Endless storm and struggle
Marks the spirit of the ageHigh up in the homelands
Celebration 'cross the land
Builds up like a cyclone
Now the fires begin to rageNo end to the hostility
Now they wanna be somewhere else
No stranger to brutality
Now they'd like to be someone elseCall off the ultimatum
No, don't turn away
Call off the ultimatum until yesterdayCall off the ultimatum
No, don't turn awayBind up the brokenhearted
No, don't turn away
Call off the ultimatum until yesterdayNo end to the hostility
Now they wanna be somewhere else
No stranger to brutality
Now they'd like to be someone elseNo end to the hostility
Now they wanna be somewhere
