[Verse 1]
[G]1788 down [D]Sydney Cove
[A]First boat people land
[Bm]And they say, sorr[G]y boys,
I gained [D]your loss,
we're [A]gonna steal your land
[Bm]And if y[G]ou break our new British l[D]aw,
we're [A]sure you're gonna hang
[Bm]Or work [G]your life like our convi[D]cts,
with a [A]chain on your neck and
hand[Bm]s
And they told [G]us, whoa,
black [F#m]wo man thou shalt not ste[Em]al[A]
Said, [G]hey, black man [F#m]thou shalt not s[Em]teal
[A]We're gonna civ[G]ilize you
like bar[F#m]baric lies
We'll [Em]teach you how to [A]kneel
That your [G]history couldn't
hide the [F#m]gen ocide
The hy[Em]pocrisy that was between [A]you
Why your [G]Jesus said
you're sup[F#m]posed to give
The op[Em]pressed a better deal
[A]We say to [G]you, yes our [F#m]land thou
shalt not [Em]steal[A][G][F#m][Em]
[A]Well, your sci[G]ence and technolog[D]y,
hey, can [A]make a nuclear bom[Bm]b.
Develop[G]ment has increased [D]its size,
three [A]million megaton[Bm]s.
And [G]if you think that's pro[D]gress,
I suggest your [A]reasoning is unsound.
[Bm]Or you shoul[G]d have found
that [D]long ago,
you better [A]keep it in the ground
[Bm]And they taught us,
[G]oh, black woman[F#m]
thou shalt not [Em]steal[A]
[G]Yeah, black [F#m]man thou shalt not st[Em]eal
[A]We're gonna civ[G]ilize your
black bar[F#m]baric lives
And we'll [Em]teach you how to [A]kneel
But your [G]history couldn't
hide the gen[F#m]ocide
Up [Em]to see the whispers f[A]eel
Why your [G]Jesus said you're
sup[F#m]posed to give
The op[Em]pressed a better deal
[A]We say to you
[G]Yes, [F#m]white man, thou shalt not [Em]steal[A]
[G]Whoa, yeah, right, [F#m]you better he[Em]ar
[A]Well, Job[G] and me and Jesus[D]
Sitting underneath [A]that infirmary bridge
[Bm]Watc[G]hing that blazing sun go d[D]own
behind the [A]poultry mountain ridge
[Bm]the land's our herit[G]age and spirit h[D]ere
[A]the rightful culture's black
[Bm]and we'r[G]e sitting here just wonderin[D]g when
[A]we're gonna get that land [Bm]back they taught us
[G]Oh, black wo[F#m]man, thou shalt n[Em]ot steal.[A]
He said, [G]yeah, black [F#m]man,
thou [Em]shalt not [A]steal.
We're going to [G]civilize you black
bar[F#m]baric lives
and we [Em]teach you how [A]to kneel.
But your [G]history couldn't
hide the gen[F#m]ocide.
The hy[Em]pocrisy that was was [A]real.
Oh, yeah, [G]Jesus said you're sup[F#m]posed
to [Em]give the oppressed a better deal.
[A]We say to [G]you,
this white man [D]thou shalt [Em]not [A]steal.
[G]Oh, where I [F#m]land, you better [Em]keep.[A]
Well, [G]you talk of conservation,
[D]keep the for[A]est pristine gre[Bm]en.
But in [G]200 years, your mater[D]ialism
[A]has stripped the forest clean.
[Bm]And a raci[G]st contradiction
[D]that's [A]understood by none,
[Bm]mostly there.
[G]Left hand holds a Bib[D]le,
[A]right hand holds a gun[Bm].
And they taught us,
[G]whoa, black wo[F#m]man thou
shalt not [Em]steal.[A]
Say, [G]hey, black man [F#m]thou
shalt [Em]not [A]steal.
We're gonna civ[G]ilize
black bar[F#m]baric lies,
[Em]and we teach you how to kneel.
[A]But your his[G]tory couldn't hide
the gen[F#m]ocide, the hypo[Em]crisy,
the whispers, [A]fear
Oh, your [G]Je sus said you're sup[F#m]posed
to give [Em]the oppressed a better deal
[A]We say to [G]you, yes, white [F#m]man,
thou shalt [Em]not s[A]teal
[G]Oh, yeah, I'll [F#m]land you better here
[Em]Oh, [A]yeah[G], white ma[F#m]n,
thou shalt [Em]not s[A]teal
[G]Oh, yeah, I'll [F#m]land you better here
