Essa música é de uma banda que tem muita engajação política na sua carreira. Não só isso, mas eles tem bastante tempo de carreira e no único álbum que tenho, todas as músicas contém uma mensagem para passar ao contrário de alguns sons que tocam na rádio, que digamos apenas que “não agregam muito valor ao seu dia”.
Com vocês, minha preferida de Midnight Oil, The Dead Heart:
The Dead Heart by Midnight Oil
We don’t serve your country
Don’t serve your king
Know your custom don’t speak your tongue
White man came took everyone
We don’t serve your country
Don’t serve your king
White man listen to the songs we sing
White man came took everything
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
We don’t serve your country
Don’t serve your king
Know your custom don’t speak your tongue
White man came took everyone
We don’t need protection
Don’t need your hand
Keep your promise on where we stand
We will listen we’ll understand
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
Mining companies, pastoral companies
Uranium companies
Collected companies
Got more right than people
Got more say than people
Forty thousand years can make a difference to the state
of things
The dead earth lives here
