Marcia Langton Lyrics

Best we forget

The cultural genocide

The endless massacres

Let's hoist a flag in the sand instead

On the sacred coast

And drink a toast

To the remains of Alice the elephant

Buried near the blood of the ancestors

The tamarama wonderland

Im trendy, Im OK

Sheaf at night and Tama all day

Politicians come, politicians go

They fly in and fly out again

But nothing ever changes

Nothing is remembered

The circle continues

The drink dulls the shame

Its not taught in schools

Its not inscribed on the headlands

The songs and the languages are gone

Easier to let them lie

For the stories they would tell

Are too tough to swallow

A cold gold KB goes down a lot easier

Best we forget
