Ode to Ignorance Songtext

von Remi

I come from the land down under, I'm Australian
I come from the land down under, I'm Australian

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 Hilter-ish saying that any immigrant should be detained'ed
Cause ho we've 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 Blaz'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

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

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
A 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

My white friends say I'm overreacting
Like Japan's power plants when earth cracked it
I tell them 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 when
Ever 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

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

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
A 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
