Ode to Ignorance

Dan “Dutch” Siwes, Sensible J, Remi Kolawole

[Intro]
I come from the land down under, I'm Australian
I come from the land down under, I'm Australian

[Verse 1]
I come from the land down under, I'm Australian
Where we've got men at work, Sudanese to Israeli
And this has got the ignorant acting a little Hitler-ish
Saying that any immigrant should be detained-ed
'Cause though we got skills, man, they want us in cages
They're scared, they see beige skin and think we're Hussein skins
If they're found in the ground like him, then who's saying shit?
Rather than Saddam, Remi's straight John Blaze'n
Leaving casualties from Canberra, my birth place
To Nigeria's sand that my daddy was raised in
I'm fucking racist propaganda in its face lips
So tell McGuire, "Cram it", before I go ape-shit
Though I guess it's not his bad, that mindset is old
Probably got it from his dad, copy and pasted
And just reiterated what ignorant racists
Have thought since my mother's ancestors invaded
And that's

[Pre-Chorus]
Fuck foreigners, those Africans aren't worth shit
Fuck the origins, Aboriginals aren't worth shit
Fuck foreigners, Indian, Islander, Arabic, Asian
If you're not male and Caucasian, you ain't shit, nah

[Chorus]
I give them something stupid raw
No condoms when I give them food for thought
Tell 'em I'm extra, extra
Brought the big issue with me
I've got a real big issue with it
Sushi, sushi raw
À la carte food for thought
Tell 'em I'm extra, extra
Brought the big issue with me
I've got a real big issue with it

[Verse 2]
My white friends say I'm overreacting
Like Japan's power plants when earth cracked it
I just tell 'em I wanna send tsunamis
Waves of change obviously need to swell in to action
So I'm starting 'em up; turn on the TV, nah, fuck it
Turn it off, it's time warped like Michael Fox
But it's not back to the futures
It's back to when blacks were in nooses
The media makes it so we look like aliens
I mean, when's the last time you saw a black guy on Neighbours?
And when the newspapers say migrants are taking over all of us
Fear's the drug, our dealer's the Herald Sun
But let's take a back step
Even if you can ignore all of the facts then
You can't eliminate my experience of being made inferior
Or my dad's 'cause of his accent
I fucking hated seeing him get knocked back
Whenever he went for jobs, just because of his black skin
They said he's over qualified, I said he's over colour-fied
They said I pulled the race card out of the pack, man
You think I wanna play that shit?
This isn't an arcade, this isn't a game, this shit is degrading
Can't take that shit, I fucking hate that shit
We've gotta cremate it but they keep fanning the flames with

[Pre-Chorus]
Fuck foreigners, those Africans aren't worth shit
Fuck the origins, Aboriginals aren't worth shit
Fuck foreigners, Indian, Islander, Arabic, Asian
If you're not male and Caucasian, you ain't shit, nah

[Chorus]
I give them something stupid raw
No condoms when I give them food for thought
Tell 'em I'm extra-extra
Brought the big issue with me
I've got a real big issue with it
Sushi, sushi raw
À la carte food for thought
Tell 'em I'm extra-extra
Brought the big issue with me
I've got a real big issue with it
