Absolutely Love This Song!! So clever, so confronting, so political, so honest. A beat that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Typical of The Herd, this song is a song so catchy, a pleasure to listen to and so hard to get it off the stero.
I have seen these guys live about 5 times and they have so many great songs but this is by far my favourite track. The most memorable was at The Pyramid Rock Festival NYE 2005. This was around the time of the Cronulla Race Riots. After addressing the huge crowd and calling for harmony, the boys delivered this song with such passion. Emotional.
"Captain Cook was the very first queue jumper
It was immigrant labour that made Australia plumper
Enough is enough, whiteys go pack your stuff
Don't wanna live in England? That's fucking tough" - Its no wonder this song caused outcry among conservative and intolerant parts of the community. But it worked - it got the message across. And it is time we 'woke up'.
P.S. - How good is Aussie Hip Hop at the moment. The Herd, Hilltop Hoods, Tzu.....................
