    Older than Kosciuszko
    Darwin down to Alice Springs
    Dealers in the clearinghouse
    The settlements explode
    High up in the homelands
    Miners drive across the land
    Encounter no resistance
    When the people block the road
    Older than Kosciuszko
    Dry white seasons years ago
    Darkness over Charleville
    The fires begin to grow
    No end to the hostility
    Now they want to be somewhere else
    No stranger to brutality
    Now they'd like to be someone else
    Older than Kosciuszko
    Driven back to Alice Springs
    Endless storm and struggle
    Marks the spirit of the age
    High up in the homelands
    Celebration 'cross the land
    Builds up like a cyclone
    Now the fires begin to rage
    Call off the ultimatum
    No don't turn away
    Call off the ultimatum until yesterday
    Call off the ultimatum
    No don't turn away
    Bind up the brokenhearted
    No don't turn away
    Call off the ultimatum until yesterday
    (Hirst/Moginie)
