about

Having a dark skinned mother and a caucasian father in a country town often caused me trouble. The white kids had a go. The Indigenous kids had a go. The middle ground can be a bit of a grey zone.

lyrics

Never forgotten, never forgiven
Never again though will I listen
To the people that just hated
My skin in the end

People who made me feel so different
Stabbed my back offered no stitches
Fight back to the bitter end
Only to find we all bleed red

I took my time, and took my leave
To learn a thing or two
I travelled far and wide
and gained a different point of view

Found peace in understanding
That they were just afraid
I could destroy them but
their own hate will burn them away

The war on ignorance
Point blank their battle cries
Their own real form of defence
"Hey mutt you don't belong,
we don't like you boy, this is OUR home"
Wore my bruises with pride
Too black, too white
make up your mind

I Just can't see the goddamn difference
I'm sick and tired of seeing people sitting on the fucking fence
I shouldn't need to leap to the defence
Stuck in the middle of a war that never ends
