[Verse 1]

Let me tell you 'bout the time when the warriors held strong

They dodged the lead of colonial cops defending where they belong


[Pre-Chorus 1]

But if there isn’t anyone to tell you

If there isn’t anyone who’ll say

I shouldn’t be the one to tell you

But a debt must be paid

Amnesia everybody


[Chorus 1]

Everything is fine

It’s all A-Okay

Everything is fine

Just another sunny day


[Verse 2]

Let me tell you bout thе time the gungabuls came through

Thеy lead the killings and wrote the books

But justice we’ve never known


[Pre-Chorus 2]

There should have been someone to tell you

There should have been someone to say

Protecting polished statues while they lie to your face

Amnesia everybody


[Chorus 1]

Everything is fine

It’s all A-Okay

Everything is fine

Just another sunny day


[Post-Chorus]

The ones they couldn’t kill, we come from

They never took their eyes off a white man’s gun

But you're still here

And we’re still here


[Bridge]

I’m at the back of the apartment

Cleaning up that Footscray

I walk around with my chin held high

First Nations always, Koori Pride

The back of the apartment

Cleaning up that Footscray

I walk around with my chin held high

Living in west Naarm and that’s my life


[Chorus 2]

Everything’s not fine

It’s never been okay

I think it’s time

Somebody’s gotta say


[Outro]

Why didn’t they teach you, you know

Why didn’t they teach you, you know

Why didn’t they teach you, you know
