G.B.A. Lyrics

I know, i see, i feel and yes i fear it everyday
These ego's there minds and games
With all their power could end our days
Still the sun it shinesand the moon it sinks with grace
It's such a shame that all this shit exists
Here on this earth, this magical place

I'm doing fine

Yes you have the funds and size and power to make some change
What you have will break their smiles
so many people so many ways
each Child who walks their line
should be free to run their race
it's such a shame that all this shit exists here on this earth, this magical place

I'm doing fine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Im pretty sure this is about aboriginal racism alot of his songs are because of his half-cast aboriginal background. This song is about the government having power and money and all that shit to change the living standards of the less fortunate people especially children living outback but the governments not doing anything about it. And they are spending it to make personal gain instead of helping the community. And lastly its about how children should be free and able to live how they want without the fear of racial agression. Might have reference to the stolen generation??? OH schmitt did u see jack and glove and xavier playing at riverstage in brisbane?PR
