The Pioneer or The Pioneers may refer to:
"Pioneers" is a single by Bloc Party from their debut album Silent Alarm. It was released in the United Kingdom by Wichita Recordings on 18 July 2005 and reached number 18 in the UK Singles Chart. Due to an error printing, it was called "The Pioneers" on the album track-listing. Each copy of the single is numbered in the top left corner.
The music video was made by the company Mini Vegas and was directed by Aoife McArdle.
The Pioneers is a 1916 Australian silent film directed by Franklyn Barrett. The film is based on the debut novel by Katharine Susannah Prichard which won £250 in a 1915 literary competition. It is considered a lost film.
It was later filmed by Raymond Longford as The Pioneers (1926).
A convict, Dan Farrel, escapes from Van Diemen's Land and throws himself on the mercy of a farming couple, Mary and Donald Cameron. The years pass and Dan becomes a school teacher. He marries and they have a daughter, Dierdre, but his wife dies.
Dierdre grows up and agrees to marry a local pub keeper, McNab, to stop him from revealing that Dan is a convict. McNab still goes to the police and Dan is arrested. Dierdre accidentally kills McNab.
No one hears what - what you say
No one is there - there for you
But I've got music and I've got friends
Both always by my side
Convictions instilled in me
This is what keeps me alive
You don't know me
Don't know any of us
Don't know what this means
Keep your mouth shut
Try and try - to tear me down
Run and run - run your mouth
But it's you who's lost
In social ills, lust and greeds
This is for the outcasts that never fit
This is all that we need
I don't care what you think of me
I don't hear what you say
You never had it, you never will
Keep your mouth shut and worry about yourself
