about

Lore and Law. As many an Aborigine would say: I fought the law and the law... They were meant to disappear as a genetic dead-end, assimilated and blended with the coffee tinge and not distinguishable from the Maltese or Calabrian strains reluctantly imported. What a good thing our first people didn't quite go along with the plan. Go for it you buggers, you'll outlast the bloody rest and as they say, the meek... shall inherit something anyway

lyrics

LORE OF THE LAND

They first sent Cookie in a ship
Bligh and Phillip had a dip
Thus began the old land's trip
Far from its primal state

First they were, at first sat back
Tried to bargain, tried attack
Thus began the old land's sack
The forests and the plains
Would never be the same

It's the law of the land, you cannot hope to save
Your old lore of the land , it’s the white law to the grave

First the rivers then the beach
Poisons oozing toxins leech
Forests dying, out of reach
The old land will fight back

First they were, last they'll be
When land is darkened, they’ll still see
Dream and wait 'til land is free
The land will take them back
Their land will have them back

It's the lore of the land, you cannot run away
It's the lore of the land, and she has the final say
It's the lore of the land, you cannot run away
It's the lore of the land, and the users, are sure to pay
It's the lore of the land, you cannot run away
It's the lore of the land, it will always rule the day
It's the lore of the land, you cannot run away
It's the lore of the land, she has the final say
