Foreword
[Spoken Word: Archie Roach]
Hey, hey, everybody
I'm, I'm Archie, Archie Roach
I was actually born a Mooroopna
And my people are Gunditjmara people from south-west Victoria
Yeah, my mum's, ah, from, ah, Framlingham—Aboriginal mission down in south-west Victoria
Ah, my dad's a Bundjalung man from northern New South Wales
And that's me, Archie

[Spoken Word: Briggs]
Excellent
And, um, when you hear a record like the record we put together

[Spoken Word: Archie Roach]
Nah, it, ah, give you goosebumps, ah
It's strong, like—you know?
It, ah, gets your blood up
Ah, it's real, it's, it's, it's, it's
It's today, it's, ah—you know, we, we, we marched down the street
Back in the '70s, '80s, '70s
We marched for land right—we marched for land rights, you know?
We walked down the street to Melbourne
We brought that city to a stand-still
We had two thousand, and we wouldn't move until we were ready
Because there's still rights, and housing
How many met, including land and so many other things
And listening to your album
It just reminds me so much of that old days
And it brings back that time when we did pump our fists in the air
Because you had to be, you had to be in their face
You had to be in their face
