about

The last song of the first side in the old way we used to listen to albums. It’s also one of the oldest songs, lyrically speaking. I wrote this as the final report was handed down in the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

lyrics

Living in the shadows
Of all the things that past
Go smoke ‘em if you've got ‘em
Not much here is gonna last
Heathen rights, Holy wrongs

Broken in the middle
Torn apart by the songs
Bares no resemblance
Of what it was that we longed

Holy wrongs, Heathen rights
The light of day don’t pierce the night

Heathen rights, Holy wrongs
Everybody
Gotta sing their song
So sing my children
Go sing your songs
