VERSE

there is enough
there is enough for everyone
there is enough
there is enough, in Redfern as there is in Alice
there is enough, this is not the Buckingham palace
there is enough
this is the crown land
this is the brown land
this is not our land
   

CHORUS

some folks live in water tanks
some folks live in red brick flats 

VERSE

there is enough, the law is carved in granite
there is enough, it's been shaped by wind and rain
there is enough, white law could be wrong
there is enough, black law must be strong
   

CHORUS

Warakurna, cars will roll
don't drink by the waterhole
court fines on the shopfront wall
beat the grog and save your soul 
some people laugh, some never learn 
this land must change or land must burn 
some people sleep, some people yearn 
this land must change or land must burn 

VERSE with INTRO×4

diesel and dust is what we breathe
this land don't change and we don't leave
some people live, some never die 
this land don't change, this land must lie 
some people leave, always return
this land must change or land must burn 

CHORUS

Warakurna, camels roam
fires are warm and dogs are cold
not since Lassiter was here
black man's got a lot to fear 
some people laugh, some never learn 
this land must change or land must burn 
some people sleep, some people yearn 
this land must change or land must burn 
this land must change or land must burn
