I’ve seen Hollywood, I’ve watched the screen
Boys n girls and the beautiful scenes
All the movies, moving meme streams
Blind to my dreams, there’s sequels between
Yeah still gotta dream, see what’s in store
We all know the rivers that flow
Round dreamtime’s call
Drifting lives asleep tonight
Treaty waits and wakes with mates and truth
I’ve been to Melbourne and old Sydney Town
Sure as hell know Centre’s heart of home
Vincent and Gough, Starry southern lights
Vanguards of history like Europe’s knight
Always wanted travel back where I’m from
For bread and watches London’s not home
Can’t buck an answer from here to the gates
We all know Country’s not real estate
Yeah still gotta dream, see what’s in store
We all know the rivers that flow
Round dreamtime’s call
Drifting lives asleep tonight
Let treaty flow through your heart and soul
Dream tonight and wake with light
And mates and truth
I’ve seen Hollywood
I’ve watched the screen
Yeah it’s not my scene
