Indigenous People, Indignant Take

Its 2009 in this modern world But out there, their is a past That's never unfurled Hidden away in forests of green Indigenous people rarely seen Content in their continent For thousands of years Their neighbours, their only fears Then along came a rider From out of the unknown To settle in their lands And call their home, home As borders are crossed Over aeons of time What was today Tomorrow's not fine Was the cross for the good For visitor or host Who prospered And who lost the most The America's have taken their toil Gold prospectors, eroded soil The Oceanic, New Guinea lands Oil exploration, next to plan Africa, the animal world Diamonds and Ruby's for pretty girls Asia, the plateau steps Minerals, take what we can get Europe, populated first No indigenous left, no more thirst We are all indigenous people From forest to ground From ape to thee, That's why we get around It's taken millennium For us to be Do we have to start again And get back up the tree?
