A.B. Original, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu - Take Me Home lyrics

You can't contain my authority
Restrain the minority
Take the head, everybody, and follow me
From a long line of leaders and warriors
I paved a path through
The face of intolerance

Through the face of a colonist
Half-arsed apologist
Celebrating death on Australia Day
More they making a change
More they staying the same
In a blink watch an officer
Turn into a coroner

You ain't got the balls
To walk these corridors
Gripped with claws in Namorrodor's jaws
"Everything's getting hairy, " no doubt
Brother and if things don't change
Somebody's getting buried

You wanna take this home? (yeah)
Where it at though? I don't know
Where it at though? I don't know
They put a bed in a cell
And they call that home
You wanna take this home? (yeah)
Where it at though? I don't know
Where it at though? I don't know
And when I find that
Leave it all behind and then I go

Yeah, I stay clever to the man
Hip to the game, watch them reclaim
Saw them speak up, watch them detained
Again, again, again, again

They claim brotherhood
But never act how a brother would
Put it on my name, we ain't the same
Get it understood
And pass the nulla nulla to the other fulla

See, love is good, but love is blind
You got pride in what, son?
Leaving kids behind until they die and
The rest getting locked up?
Nah, we making change, no question
Call myself Trials 'cause my
People don't get them

Take me home take me home, where I live
Where I love, where I fight, where I feel
Take me home, where I live
Where I love, where I fight, where I feel
Take me home, where I live
Where I love, where I fight, where I feel
Take me home, where I live
Where I love, where I fight, where I feel
Take me home, where I live
Where I love, where I fight, where I feel
Take me home (Yo, Cleverman)

You wanna take this home?
Where it at though? I don't know
Where it at though? I don't know
They put a bed in a cell
And they call that home
You wanna take this home?
Where it at though? I don't know
Where it at though? I don't know
And when I find that
Leave it all behind and then I go

Play me out, brother (Yo, Cleverman)
