They Will Always Be The First Australians

They will always be the first Australians that privilege to them alone belong Their ancestors lived in Australia sixty thousand years ago and their bond to Nature strong The children of the Dreamtime they should take pride of place As the Aboriginal people of this southern Land but such is not the case. The children of the Dreamtime their praises we should sing Yet their culture is dying and that does seem such a sad thing They have been treated badly and they have been oppressed And their problems caused by white occupation have never been addressed. In the Government of their Country they do not have any say The majority rules that's how it is and 'tis always been that way Indigenous people all around the World have received a raw deal the invaders passed on to them their diseases and their Lands from them did steal. They will always be the first Australians that of them cannot be denied And the story of their dispossession has become known Worldwide White people rule their Country they are of the underclass of their Homeland Why this should be to fair minded people seems hard to understand
