Broken Tongues

Don't talk too loud
Don't want to stand out
In this vacant crowd
They filled your space
They don't like your sound
They don't
They don't trust your
Broken mouth
Swallow your history down
And wash that bitter taste out
Books burn on shelves
So why be acting all proud?
Rewriting yourself
Into something else

[Pre-Chorus]

Tell them where you come from
And the odds that you have overcome
To stand among them
With a warrior within your blood
It ain't no broken song
But a harmony of two tongues
Listen close here now
Know that this is how the Gods sound

[Chorus]

Nganana kunpu
Gunengunen ba
Nyangata wiru
Wurrangarurma (x4)

Your skin turning
Into something else right behind
Their eyes
They been fearing
The power within that the
History tried to
Tried to hide
Rising feeling
That all you need is the space to grow in
Thinking that things
Only get better when you
Give up the shame and
And own this skin

[Pre-Chorus]

Tell them where you come from
And the odds that you have overcome
To stand among them
With a warrior within your blood
It ain't no broken song
But a harmony of two tongues
Listen close here now
Know that this is how the Gods sound

[Chorus]

Nganana kunpu
Gunengunen ba
Nyangata wiru
Wurrangarurma (x4)
