First Nation Lyrics

[Refrain]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

[Verse 1: Peter Garrett]
First nation, first nation
First to deserve an explanation
First nation, first nation
Last to receive an invitation

[Refrain]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

[Verse 2: Peter Garrett]
First nation, first nation
When we gonna start the conversation?
When we gonna start the celebration? (Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
When we gonna end the exploitation? (Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
When we gonna say the word "invasion"?

[Chorus: Peter Garrett & Jessica Mauboy]
Out loud
We're waiting
Still waiting
Nation within the nation
Still waiting
Nation within a nation

[Verse 3: Tasman Keith]
Earth black the church lacked the first fact
80 thou' turned demon days and a dirt nap
Generate the trauma that made a kid rage
Now the ment' capat' be filled with all that
Fall back
Why my cousin commit?
Why my uncle locked up?
Why my aunty forget how to put a glass cup down?
Fighting the fit
We done been brainwashed into fighting the temptay'
Fought Armageddon and I be out the next day
Of course I'm a get 'em till the spirit run empty
My corpse full of venom outcome of the invade
How dare you try to put me up in grave

[Verse 4: Peter Garrett & Jessica Mauboy]
Strong vision, tradition
No ticket, no admission
No government indecision
No token recognition

[Refrain]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

[Pre-Chorus: Jessica Mauboy]
First nation, so ancient

[Verse 5: Peter Garrett & Jessica Mauboy]
Let's sit down and talk about appropriation (Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
Let's sit down and talk about compensation (Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
Let's sit down and talk about reconciliation

[Chorus: Peter Garrett & Jessica Mauboy]
Out loud
We're waiting
Still waiting
Nation within a nation
Still waiting
Nation within a nation

[Refrain]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

[Bridge]
Nation
Nation within a nation
Nation
Nation within a nation
Nation
Nation within a nation

[Outro: Tasman Keith]
When will the light switch?
24/7 in a crisis
White noise killed black thoughts I sense
There's a shift, it'll come by the nights end
When will the light switch?
24/7 in a crisis
White noise killed black thoughts I sense
There's a shift, see the ship sink like this

I’ve had ‘First Nation’ for the last couple of years, and everyone I played it to said, ‘Oh, that’s a Midnight Oil song.’ This was when Midnight Oil had made moves to tour again and it looked like we were going to get back together, so I just kept it aside. The only thing lacking was to have someone...
