#MidnightOil #WeResist #unite #stand #now #SaveEarth
only if we resist…

"So you cut all the tall #trees down
You #poisoned the #sky and the #sea
You've taken what's good from the ground
But you've left precious little for me
You remember the flood and the fall
We remember the light on the hill
There should be enough for us all
But the dollar is driving us still
The river runs red, black rain falls
Dust in my hand
River runs red, black rain falls
On my bleeding land
So we came and conquered, and found
Riches of commons and kings
Who strangled and wrestled the ground
But they never put back anything
Now I'm trapped like a dog in a cage
Wherever the truth is pursued
It must be the curse of the age
What's taken is never renewed
The river runs red, black rain falls
Dust in my hand
River runs red, black rain falls
On my bleeding land, oh yeah
The river runs red, black rain falls
Dust in my hand
A river runs red, black rain falls
On my bleeding land
Land, land, land, land
(On my bleeding land)
Land, land
The river runs red, black rain falls
Dust in my hand
(My hand)
The river runs red, black rain falls
On my bleeding land
The river runs red, the black rain falls
(The river runs red, the black rain falls)
Dust in my hand
(My hand)
The river runs red, black rain falls
On my bleeding land
Land, land, land, land
Land, land, land, land"

"Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty-five degrees

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent now, to pay our share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore, east to Yuendemu
The Western Desert lives and breathes
In forty-five degrees

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent now, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?"

Short Memory

#MidnightOil

Conquistador of Mexico, the Zulu and the Navaho
The Belgians in the Congo short memory
Plantation in Virginia, the Raj in British India
The deadline in South Africa short memory
The story of El Salvador, the silence of Hiroshima
Destruction of Cambodia short memory

Short memory, must have a, short memory

#Australianmusic #midnightoil #80smusic #protestsong #aussiemusic #BedsAreBurning #equality This song really gets to me it’s message is relevant now more than ever, 1987 song from the album Diesel and Dust , charted high in several countries and in 2001 Australasian Performing Rights Association industry panel declared it 3rd best Australian song ever, also one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that shaped Rock and Roll, thanks Oils for this classic https://youtu.be/ejorQVy3m8E

I finally watched #gallipoli ( 7 part TV series on Netflix) - it was hard to watch without feeling anger sadness and despair at the horrific loss of life and how history still repeats in spite of the lessons.

The series concluded with a quote (supposedly from Mustafa Kemal #Ataturk)

“Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.”

I realised I had heard words like these in a #midnightoil song, Blossom and Blood.
“You, the mothers who sent your sons
Wipe away your tears
For those who fought and those who fell
Become our sons as well.”

The Gallipoli campaign ended in 1916, the Oils released their song in 1985 and in 2023 we are watching the #UkraineWar - and we are still mourning the loss of life. 😥 🤯

Waiting for the meat of tomorrow”….. nothing much has changed really https://youtu.be/SAFv2NEE-_c
