Uluru Statement from the Heart / Come On Down (feat. Troy Cassar-Daley) - Midnight Oil

Extreme ways are back again Extreme places i didn't know I bought everything new again Everything that i'd owned I threw it out the windows, came along Extreme ways i know move apart The colors of my sea Perfect color me Extreme ways that that help me Help me out at night Extreme places i had gone But never seen any light Dirty basements, dirty noise Dirty places coming through Extreme worlds alone Did you ever like it planned I would stand in line for this There's always room in life for this Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Like it always does, always does Extreme songs that told me They helped me down every night I didn't have much to say I didn't get above the light I closed my eyes and closed myself And closed my world and never opened Up to anything That could get me along I had to close down everything I had to close down my mind Too many things to cover me Too much can make me blind I've seen so much in so many places So many heartaches, so many faces So many dirty things You couldn't believe I would stand in line for this It's always good in life for this Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Like it always does, always does

I come from a land of wide open spaces Where the world turns around us and we just follow suit There's heat in the air and peace reigns supreme Got white flags on the clothes lines and the deals are new In the wind The ashes fly The poison crown The charcoal ground And if you can't see the smile in me That's where I wanna be There's only God There's only Christ Think I'll lie down For just a while And the grass became granite and the sky a black sheet Our bed was a graveyard, we couldn't feel our blistered feet And the moaning and groaning and sighing of death And the silence that followed and the very harsh reality So watch and check them out and listen as we learn Throw the pearls before the swine, ebb and flow, turning tide Yes, we watch and catch them no matter how they jump The pigs will have to come to ground, we've got to make it happen It's really not that new, try and make it happen now 'Cause what are we to do, maybe there's a chance for you All around An eerie sound Their dreams a cloud Their world in shrouds In the wind The ashes fly Not much time But time to try And if you can't see the smile in me That's 'cause I wanna be I want to be here at the end I have to be here at the end
