Marcia Langton from Summercloud by sean wayland

Best we forget
the cultural genocide
the endless massacres
let's hoist a flag in the sand instead
on the sacred coast
and drink a toast
to the remains of Alice the elephant
buried near the blood of the ancestors
the tamarama "WONDERLAND"

Im trendy , Im OK
Sheaf at night and Tama all day

Politicians come, politicians go
They fly in and fly out again
but nothing ever changes
nothing is remembered
the circle continues
the drink dulls the shame

its not taught in schools
its not inscribed on the headlands
the songs and the languages are gone
Easier to let them lie
for the stories they would tell
are too tough to swallow
a cold gold KB goes down a lot easier

best we forget

Marcia Langton knows the score
a game that can't be won
she tells it true and deadly
" we don't need to rely on the longsocks "
