lyrics

like a fist clutching bread just to hoard and withhold like the grain that they locked in the silo / we'll be eating soup of stone til what we grow is what we own, but we won't steal from the land what's freely given / tear up the deeds to the land, throw the debts into the furnace, debts to god to the banks and to the landlord / don your armor don your helm, which was forged from an old plows blade / train your horses round and aim your guns at sydney / I was born from a seed that was swallowed by a mad woman, from the lips and the tongue of ceridwen / I had took just a taste that had splashed up from the black kettle / in the waves neither drowned nor aged a day / down their lying in the brush was one bloody tethered horse, and one detective in the service of the crown / even though we're just one pistol against an army of policemen I insist that we are many and they are few / it was on van dieman's land where your father came in transport chained like cattle to the deck of a ship / held hostage in a word, stolen from the shores of erin / south australia bound in bondage of the queen's men
