lyrics

Well Eddie McCarthy's parents cried
when they took him away & didn't bring him back.
Found his knees were on the ground
& a sheet around his neck.
They said he killed himself,
I know you can't kill yourself like that.

This concerns everybody here, Aboriginal & white.
This concerns everybody here, Aboriginal & white.

Kim Pollack he was punched to death
by four cops one night when he was drunk.
The official report said he died of his own accord.
What they didn't know was the witness
that they thought was asleep say everything.

This concerns everybody here, Aboriginal & white.
This concerns everybody here, Aboriginal & white.

And it happened again one Christmas eve
in a Laverton lock up.
The cops pulled up twelve Nunga's drink driving,
& bashed them all to death.
Too many, far too many to die like that!

This concerns everybody here, Aboriginal & white.
This concerns everybody here, Aboriginal & white.

In a Fremantle prison a black man was heard
calling out for a toilet pan.
When the screws entered the cell
the screaming stopped,
he was never heard from again.
Can you guess what happened?
Just try & guess what happened!!

This concerns everybody here, Aboriginal & white.
This concerns everybody here, Aboriginal & white.
