Head Right - Joelistics, Monkey Marc

I don’t trust a motherfucker who makes generalisations

Based on what a person looks like or where they come from

It ain’t nothin' new or nothin' to run from

It’s just another bigot with his head screwed on wrong

I’d wave a wand or write a better song

If I could make ‘em think or maybe make ‘em turn their brains on

We ain’t all blonde, all from Summer Bay

And some fellas really give the flag a bad name

And it’s a damn shame when it’s in a campaign

They use a scapegoat to fire up the race-train

And hard-hearts stay hard ‘cause they’re so afraid

Dog-whistle politics, manipulating bad brains

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head straight

(Say, say, listen to me now)

Is it human nature, strange behaviour?

Is it hard wired into the way we’re all made up?

Is it made up or made of bad luck?

Is it what raises a country’s flag up?

Is it less offensive if your puttin' your hand up

With a disclaimer?

Like «They're Al-Qaeda

And they don’t care for the Lord, our saviour

And we’re all done for, ‘cause we’re all at war

If we don’t shut doors, protectin' our own shore

They gon' come here and probably take yours

And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah»

That ain’t cool, that’s just racist, dude

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head straight

I am half Caucasian, still very Asian

A mad variation on what you’d call Australian

When I’m on the pavement, treated like an alien

Cop a little racism, this is what I say

«Consider me the face of the Asian horde

The Yellow Peril menace, threat from the north

My people immigrated over here on boats

Yeah, we came to steal your jobs and your women-folk, jokes!»

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head straight

Oh, well I talkin' with my head

Either ignorant head’s are filled with lead

So if you feel a thing the world is and you must learn

It’s embedded in the system,

You keep them away with

freedoms

So you comin' and pretendin' that you and that you care

say you never led them here

So be

And when we’re tellin' you, means pissed off

You know the future is right there and

Take you higher like, never come down

Say, say, listen to me now

Say, say, listen to me now

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head straight

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head right

Hey brother, getcha head straight

(Say, say, listen to me now)
