SISTERS SISTERS

Our sisters are beautiful

Our sisters are proud

Our sisters are so righteous

Gonna talk about our sisters now

Through history raped and denied

They stood and took the pain

Sisters are rising with a new courage now

Passions on fire with freedom's flame

Brown, black, young, red and yellow sisters

The strength of the people the hope of the planet

Your grace your joy your timely anger

As we purge ourselves fill us with it

Sisters teach us an we reach for you

We can't survive only half a life

Sisters love love as we must love you

We can struggle twice as high

The heat is rising

It's astounding

Flesh/energy

Is pounding

With a mind that sees

And skin that feel

Got to make your meaning

Real

Sisters!    Sisters!

Sisters!    Sisters!

Sisters!    Sisters!

Sisters!

DO THE SUNDANCE

Rising in the East

Burning in the West

Rights of revolution spawining

Whole new Nation forming

Riots breaking hard and fast

Busted heads and glass forges

Thought, organization make

Music self-determination

Know what we want

See what we need

Define ourselves build on our past

We are a people join with millions

Brothers!

Come and do the dance

Do the Sundance!

Seize the time now

Do the Sundance!

Dance.  dance

Dance.  dance

Dance.

            Dance or die!

Dance.  dance

Dance.  dance

Dance.

            It's the dance of life!

JUST LIKE AN ABORIGINE

I've been drowning in mild and honey for

Twenty too many years

I can't spend no more times money and

I don't care to share no more tears

City's done give me an overdose

I'm gonna take off all my clothes

I'd rather be attacked by some kangaroo

In the land they call down under

Than to piss and moan and say boo hoo

And die choking on laughter

Ain't gonna die in this revolution

I don't need no constitution

The soul's my mother

I know how I loved her

She'll kiss my bare feet and

Welcome me home

The hot sun's my father

The trees my lost brother

Never again should

I feel all alone

I'm gonna take up the wild man's cry

I'm gonna run happy in the sky

Just like an aborigine
