"Public Holiday" lyrics
This is not your place
To spread your hate
And your shotgun comments
A public holiday
Why do you need to be reminded
Who was here first?
'Cause it always was
And it always will be
But you just wanna argue and dispute the facts
You're spitting out words you can't take back
The train of progress has run off the tracks
Our history's burning, burning away
The pages are turning day after day
For fucks sake, don't let it get in the way
Of one more vote on election day
So why should I care what the socials say?
The blind leading the blind, this is not the way
But you'll never understand their pain
Too busy getting drunk on your
Public holiday
See the white crosses
Of a fallen dream
'Cause the ears don't listen
If the eyes don't see
Stop forgetting to remember
Who was here first
Since the beginning of time
Been walking on this dirt
And it's not that hard to fix the mistakes
To stand in their shoes, see it their way
We owe it to our kids to educate
Our history's burning, burning away
The pages are turning day after day
For fucks sake, don't let it get in the way
Of one more vote on election day
So change it up, change it for another day
There's 364 other days
But you'll never understand the pain
Too busy with your manufactured
Public holiday
The darkest day
Our history's burning, burning away
The pages are turning day after day
For fucks sake, don't let it get in the way
Of one more vote on election day
So why should I care what the socials say?
The blind leading the blind, this is not the way
But you'll never understand their pain
Too busy getting drunk on your
Public holiday
The darkest day
To spread your hate
And your shotgun comments
A public holiday
Why do you need to be reminded
Who was here first?
'Cause it always was
And it always will be
But you just wanna argue and dispute the facts
You're spitting out words you can't take back
The train of progress has run off the tracks
Our history's burning, burning away
The pages are turning day after day
For fucks sake, don't let it get in the way
Of one more vote on election day
So why should I care what the socials say?
The blind leading the blind, this is not the way
But you'll never understand their pain
Too busy getting drunk on your
Public holiday
See the white crosses
Of a fallen dream
'Cause the ears don't listen
If the eyes don't see
Stop forgetting to remember
Who was here first
Since the beginning of time
Been walking on this dirt
And it's not that hard to fix the mistakes
To stand in their shoes, see it their way
We owe it to our kids to educate
Our history's burning, burning away
The pages are turning day after day
For fucks sake, don't let it get in the way
Of one more vote on election day
So change it up, change it for another day
There's 364 other days
But you'll never understand the pain
Too busy with your manufactured
Public holiday
The darkest day
Our history's burning, burning away
The pages are turning day after day
For fucks sake, don't let it get in the way
Of one more vote on election day
So why should I care what the socials say?
The blind leading the blind, this is not the way
But you'll never understand their pain
Too busy getting drunk on your
Public holiday
The darkest day
