‘Utopia’ is a scathing critique of the treatment of Australian Aboriginals, both historically and currently. It’s inspired by the compelling John Pilger documentary of the same name.

lyrics

The white man invaded the motherland, and claimed it for his own
The oldest living culture on earth, enslaved and disowned
Racking and shacking of the first nationals
Black incarceration at abominable levels

A stolen generation (recurrent revelation)
Babies torn from their mother’s side

I don’t even know where to begin
This problem’s on your doorstep, let it in
You say ‘die for you country’, but not your kin?
As you let them die for their skin

You can’t cover it up any more

We are civilised and they are not
Let the bastards in the outback rot
No more hollow apologies we don’t believe

This land may be nothing more than mineral wealth to you
But they shall return to this sacred earth and become one
