Lyrics Xavier Rudd

Xavier Rudd

Bow Down

I sit here now 2010 government still stealing land

Making lame excuses for their greed while that

oil spills into the sea

And the Whalers now still killing whales and old

growth bush still being raped

And I know we will have busy lives but sing along

if you have the time

Bow Down to your God

but don't forget about the earth

place your hand on a tree

Who's helping your breath

Give thanks to the sun

when you open your lungs

Throw your buts in the bin

help the old turtles swim

Selling tourism on sacred land while the local

mob sit on their hands

if what I'm speaking here makes any sense open

up my friend and jump the fence

Bow Down to your God

but don't forget about the earth

place your hand on a tree

Who's helping your breath

Give thanks to the sun

when you open your lungs

Throw your buts in the bin

help the old turtles swim

Freedom for all
