Thelma Plum - Any Other Name lyrics

[Pre-Verse: Jimblah] Who's gonna lead this fight If the country's blinded If the country's blind And who's gonna question why? Our country's blinded Our country's blind [Verse 1: Jimblah] It's a f**ing war cry Reclaim what? Super fly sh**, Jetta, for real, we f**ing fed up homie Tell me what's good, "What's good homie?" Schooled by a system that's ran by a bunch of crooks Baby I'm the f**ing president, king sh** in my element Nation on my back and homie I ain't break a sweat A.U.S leadership, national embarra**ment Party up in Canberra with a bunch of f**ing larrikins [Hook 1: Thelma Plum] Look at all the trouble that you've made Holding up a mirror to what we're afraid of Showing us a truth we can't escape So we call it any other name [Verse 2: Urthboy] Cause you won't face the truth don't make it less true And hide it with excuses that you claim offend you Say you don't like the way number 37 threatened you Swear to God you wounded by the spear he threw and his point of view And who the f** is he to make us question who we are? And don't he know who makes the rules under these southern stars? A dog is whistling, a**a**inate his character And we ain't trying to hear none of his diplomatic charm And how much history can we re-write while we caught up in the glare From when he shone a light that shot up like a flair The scoundrels that unite, denying that despair Our darkest side is laid bare, and they dare to say [Hook 1: Thelma Plum] Look at all the trouble that you've made Holding up a mirror to what we're afraid of Showing us a truth we can't escape So we call it any other name [Hook 2: Thelma Plum & Jimblah] At the end of the day, my heart's breaking again I am so ashamed, I am so ashamed You can try and deny but it's simple and plain Everything must change Everything must change [Breakdown] It's a f**ing war cry It's a f**ing war cry It's a f**ing war cry [Verse 3: Solo] I can't make this any clearer, you lookin' for a problem Say you're looking for an answer, well I think I've got it See you refuse to see it, but let's be honest now Both things are staring back out at you from the mirror Let's lead these backwater lambs to the slaughter Cause these the dying seconds of the final quarter Eddie McGuire preaching to the coward's choir Like that beach in the Shire, still our beds are on fire See the cops in a picket line, an image from a different time Still we clash with civil rights (something isn't right) You can deny it all you like, you can hide behind pride You can claim that white privilege is your God-given right But don't be coming round here with all of that "I ain't a racist, but" I'll make it plain and simple, I hope it's plain enough Racist is as racist does So if you're doing something racist, hate to break it you're a racist cuz (Like OB said back in '03 "We need a shaking up") [Bridge: Jimblah] I done stood up to the whole damn crowd Just to say it out loud My name emblazed in gold I done tore down the throne where they sat upon Their Power is no more On the hierarchy of the soil they claim unfair And a law that is no one's friend I done stood up to the whole damn crowd And I told them this: sh** it's a f**ing war cry [Hook 2: Thelma Plum & Jimblah] At the end of the day, my heart's breaking again I am so ashamed, I am so ashamed You can try and deny but it's simple and plain Everything must change Everything must change [Outro: Thelma Plum, Jimblah, Solo] This is my home I know my place in this, and so I'm facing this I know my place in this I can't see any other way I know my place in this, and so I'm facing this This can't be known by any other name
