about

This song was written when we heard that the “emergency” intervention in the NT had been extended for a further 10 years. We see this as another frontier for the colonial state’s usurpation of land that was never ceded. Nothing can change what has so far happened on this land but we think institutions responsible need to be held accountable and anyone can take these actions…

lyrics

* What do you know about terror?

What do you know about loss?

What do you feel inside when the sacrosanct is lost?

Can you find a place inside

An empathy? A sadness?

Can we recognise a final act of war?

Ungovernable is a people without your words

Unforgivable this country’s silence

Uncontainable as a way of life

So we live in a colonised country

And they slowly rape the lands

Intervene on the rapists every way we can

The emergency has landed, 10 more fucking years

Send chaos into the hearts and minds

Of those willing to destroy all there is

All resistance is revenge

And its all that we can send

Revenge will not repair

The past is done

Blood lust is our revenge

Hate filled we will avenge

This culture is accountable CEOs accountable

a government accountable

Lets not talk ourselves out of this*
