I don't need two vertical irises To know that you're a fucking snake I don't need to see a lifted mask To know that you're a fucking fake I've seen the writing on the walls I'll break bread with mutual enemies to watch your fall You're a fraud and I'm calling you out You're talking shit you know nothing about Your words never spoke for us We will break you for breaking our trust (Charlatan) The streets will run as red as what we see (Scarlet hands) Won't be washed clean by conspiracy (We demand) Blood for blood to be paid in turn (Swollen glands) Will be drained for the blame you've earned Hack You're a fraud and I'm calling you out You're talking shit you know nothing about Think you did but you never spoke for us We will break you for breaking our trust Cunt. For every passing lie For all the pain you've reaped With every heaving breath I pray for your defeat For all the promises The ones you failed to keep You hid among us like a wolf among sheep Or so you thought Wolf and sheep

No Country 02:59
This is a statement of solidarity With a people who are systematically denied dignity I can't believe this discussion's still a thing I can't believe that you'd erase a human being You want to claim there's no genocide? Well you're wrong Purge Burn motherfucker Burn your bridges with the fire in our throats Don't try and claim there's no genocide We're in a state but this is no country This is the sound of a million voices past Silenced for belonging to your so-called lowest caste We've been robbed of our tongues so we'll have to speak in yours When we speak about a history it's convenient to ignore This nation's built on exploitation Culture erased, impoverished to feed the greed of colonisation Take their kids, breed out the black, keep it a family secret This racism's insidious, latent in law for generations You want to claim there's no genocide? Well you're wrong Purge Burn motherfucker Burn your bridges with the fire in our throats Don't try and claim there's no genocide We're in a state but this is no country This is no country When we pay lip service To the people we enslaved Eradication was our purpose This is no country When we've all been denied The chance to share to our culture Fucking stop this apartheid

Oi I've been mixing up my spirits Distilled and bottled them away Oi I've been mixing up my spirits Saving them for a sunny day Drink your cocktail but it might burn going down Welcome to the cocktail lounge Drink your cocktails but I'll light mine Oi I've been scoping out 219 Planning the best offense to take Oi I'll use your flags as kindling We're gonna take it back today Drink your cocktail but it might burn going down Welcome to the cocktail lounge Drink your cocktails but I'll light mine When did we as a society Decide in our endless piety That property was for profit And not the good of community? When did we as a nation Decide our preoccupation Was with evicting the poor To reap a margin off gentrification? If you want to defuse a bomb You never cut the blackwire Resist. This cocktail is hard to swallow Resist.

about

Over two hundred years ago, Windradyne fearlessly led the people of the Wiradjuri nation in their resistance against British occupation. Known as the Bathurst War, this event, and many others like it, are routinely glossed over in history books and curricula regarding the history of colonial Australia.

First and foremost, Windradyne stand with Mob, including the Wiradjuri and Gamilaraay nations, in their fights for recognition and custodianship of their traditional lands. Windradyne stand with the LGBTQ community, in Australia and worldwide. Windradyne stand with anti-fascist and anti-racist movements.

Windradyne stand in resistance.

Recorded on the lands of the Gweagal people of the Dharawal nation, we pay our respects to elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Engineered, mixed, mastered by Tom Cadden.
