Change the Date - Midnight Oil, Gurrumul Yunupingu, Dan Sultan

Ḻiya munyaṉ wäyin, ḻiya munyaṉ wäyin

Naḻyurrunha gumadalili maykulili dhiyal’dhiyal’lili

Ghost ships sailing in the sky

Followed by the old empire

Trashed these nations, built their own

Sailed to Sydney, flags flew high

Built a prison, please stand by

There’s no plausible denial

Settlers stormed in countless waves

Massacred the native race

Left no mark on history’s page

Draped in flags on this grand day

Drinking down your chardonnay

How long can you just look away?
