SUDS - Dog Whistling (Live at Newtown Social Club) Lyrics

You gotta wonder what they think of us
Across the oceans when they see the fuss
From a boat of desperate people
Public outrage puts them in a cage

I know a place where people came on boats
Unauthorised and largely unopposed
They took it all from the people here first
But now they fail to see the irony

Still they changed the national anthem to just whistling
Dog whistling, dog whistling, dog whistling

You gotta wonder what they think of us
Three to a square kilometre
Our boundless plains everywhere
But not enough for us to share

I know a place where people had a vote
It changed policy made by xenophobes
And the place thrived with the cultures coming in
But now they say we're full
They're full of it

And now they want a national anthem that's just whistling
Dog whistling

We are not full, we are not full, we are not full, we are not full
We are not full, we are not full, we are not full, we are not full
