    The Dead Heart - Lyrics
    We don't serve your country
    Don't serve your king
    Know your custom don't speak your tongue
    White man came took everyone
    We don't serve your country
    Don't serve your king
    White man listen to the songs we sing
    White man came took everything
    We carry in our hearts the true country
    And that cannot be stolen
    We follow in the steps of our ancestry
    And that cannot be broken
    We don't serve your country
    Don't serve your king
    Know your custom don't speak your tongue
    White man came took everyone
    #MidnightOil #TheDeadHeart #DieselandDust

    It brings me to tears when I hear this song. The fact the band cares enough to make awareness of the plight of the indigenous people of Australia is beautiful!!!! . They obviously aren't singing these songs just for money or because it looks righteous. These issues obviously matter to them and they want all of us to care. I wish more bands were more caring for our brothers and sisters all around the world like this band does!!!!!

    • @ex0duzz
      @ex0duzz ปีที่แล้ว +8

      "because no one cared more about atrocities than 80s youth did".
      Lol what? 70s were much more activist, more anti war, more counterculture, more anti consumerist, folk songs era. They cared far more for things that mattered. Otherwise, can you five me some counter examples which prove your claim that 80s youth cared the most about atrocities? What did they do to beat 70s or 90s youth? Even if just talking about songs, it's no contest, every second song in 70s was hippy war protest songs, about spreading free love, etc.
      80s were boomers and decade of excess, full of consumerist fashion, coke heads instead of weed hippies, start of electronic music and pop music was huge like Michael Jackson, even if he made many songs with a good message, he also had hundreds of millions of dollars, bought theme park never land, decade of excess like I said.. At least 70s hippies were nor hypocrites as much and put their money where their mouths was and protested on the streets for change. 80s did like one band aid or live aid concert, made one song like we are the world, and that's it. 70s every second song from every artist was protest song.
      70s were a special kind in a good way, 80s were a special kind in a bad way, or at least when it came to counterculture. 70s was the era of minimalism and hippy protest and counterculture. 80s was the era of mainstream and excess. The war in Vietnam ended, Cold War was basically over, and everyone just forgot and wanted to enjoy to the fullest and not give a shit about anything other than themselves. Hedonistic decade of excess is best way to put it.

      There wouldn't be Australia without Anglo-Saxon men.
      The so called aboriginals had no nation, they were separate tribes with separate languages all fighting over territories and amongst each other.
      Anglo-Saxon men unified Australia as a nation.
      That's the soul of a nation.

    When no one wanted to talk or think about these sorts of things, Midnight Oil told everyone what happened and what needs to be done to correct these things! I look white. I am an American but most of my ancestry is American Indian (my dad was 100% and my mom was about 20%) so I know how it is both ways! No one can say that everything that Europeans did here were good but also they were not always bad. We need to speak about all these things because when we don't they are lost.

      I don't think we have to constantly bring up this issue. However, what you just said is exactly what we need to talk more about. You hit the nail on the head. A balanced way of looking at this, wasn't all good, yet wasn't all bad. I live in Canada and all I hear is how white man has never done anything good, yet our quality of life is a million times better than it was 200 years ago so..... People are becoming so spoiled, it's pathetic. A lot of people will literally complain about everything in their " awful society" while sitting at home collecting a check that basically gives them everything they need to live without doing shit!! Im not against welfare at all. I'm against this attitude of entitlement that people are starting to have more and more. I didn't say that pointing the finger at native people, but that is how I see them when they can't find one good word to say about the white man , but at the same time they have their hands open demanding more money.

However, these are the ones that we have the best records about, and the ones where the suppressed cultures are still around, so something can be done to support those cultures (obviously, some cultural features can be worth replacing rather than preserving, such as child abuse, sexism, racism, violent murder of enemy combatants, etc.).

Rather, I agree that it is inappropriate to hold anyone accountable for what their ancestors did or didn’t do. We should be accountable only for our own actions. However, just as a manager sometimes needs to deal with issues that were caused by a predecessor, so too many nations have residual tensions and it is best to try to resolve those tensions. (I am not implying that some Australians have more right to be here than other Australians.)

    Such a beautiful song by one of Australia's most finest bands ever! Much respect and all the best from a great fan of Australia from Romania! I understand the meaning and the references of this song, from the British colonisation to the troubled economic history of the late 20th century (which Men at Work also highlight in the music video of 'Down Under' according to frontman Colin Hay). Much love and respect to Australia from Romania! Rock on! 🤘
    P.S.: Midnight Oil, Goanna, AC/DC, Men at Work, INXS, The Church, Mondo Rock, Icehouse, John Farnham, and many others have been some of my all time most favourite musical acts for quite a long time! Much respect to Australia and Australians once again! 🇦🇺
