Dusty Dreams

[Verse] Koori kid, dust in veins, life ain't no Broadway Outback hustle, snakes in grass, gotta dodge the melee Grandpops told tales 'bout the Dreamtime stars glow Now I'm just dreamin' Fiends wanna snatch my soul though [Verse 2] Gum leaves rustle, whispers from the long gone Wish I could find peace, but the violence carry on Dheels on my feet, boots of a lost generation Echoes in the bush, soundin' off their frustration [Chorus] Dusty dreams and shacks, reality feels cracked Land of red dirt and heartache, never gettin' back Run from shadows, runnin' low on hope Wish I could scrub clean, gimme that soap [Verse 3] Mob on the streets, hidden in the alleys' gloom Chasin' dragonflies, but it leads to doom Mates lost in haze, eyes gloss, minds a mess Once proud warriors, now just shadows in distress [Verse 4] Sunset blood-red, paintin' sky in sorrow Nights bring demons, I dread tomorrow Bush telegraph, news travel fast but grim Stories of 'scapes, stuck in the same whim [Bridge] Wanna break these chains, find my spirit's song Join the ancestors, where everything's strong But this land, it traps, got me feelin' unclear Heart's full of fire, but covered in fear
