joelistics - head right lyrics

[verse 1: joelistics]
i don’t trust a motherf+cker who makes generalisations
based on what a person looks like or where they come from
it ain’t nothin’ new or nothin’ to run from
it’s just another bigot with his head screwed on wrong
i’d wave a wand or write a better song
if i could make ‘em think or maybe make ‘em turn their brains on
we ain’t all blonde, all from summer bay
and some fellas really give the flag a bad name
and it’s a d+mn shame when it’s in a campaign
they use a scapegoat to fire up the race+train
and hard+hearts stay hard ‘cause they’re so afraid
dog+whistle politics, manipulating bad brains

[chorus: joelistics]
hey brother, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha head straight

[post+chorus: sample]
(say, say, listen to me now)
(say, say, listen to me now)

[verse 2]
is it human nature, strange behaviour?
is it hard wired into the way we’re all made up?
is it made up or made of bad luck?
is it what raises a country’s flag up?
is it less offensive if your puttin’ your hand up
with a disclaimer? like “they’re al+qaeda
and they don’t care for the lord, our saviour
and we’re all done for, ‘cause we’re all at war
if we don’t shut doors, protectin’ our own shore
they gon’ come here and probably take yours
and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah”
that ain’t cool, that’s just racist, dude
[chorus: joelistics]
hey brother, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha head straight

[post+chorus: sample]
(say, say, listen to me now)
(say, say, listen to me now)

[bridge: joelistics]
i am half caucasian, still very asian
a mad variation on what you’d call australian
when i’m on the pavement, treated like an alien
cop a little racism, this is what i say
“consider me the face of the asian horde
the yellow peril menace, threat from the north
my people immigrated over here on boats
yeah, we came to steal your jobs and your women+folk, jokes!”

[chorus: joelistics & natalie pa’ana’pa]
hey brother, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha head straight
[post+chorus: sample]
(say, say, listen to me now)
(say, say, listen to me now)

[verse 3: natalie pa’ana’pa]
oh, well i [?] talkin’ with my head
either ignorant [?] head’s are filled with lead
so if you feel a thing the world is [?] and you must learn
it’s embedded in the system, [?]
you keep them away with [?]
[?] freedoms
so you comin’ and pretendin’ that you [?] and that you care
[?] say you never led them here
so be [?]
and when we’re tellin’ you [?], means [?] p+ssed off
you know the future is right there and [?]
take you higher like [?], never come down
say, say, listen to me now
say, say, listen to me now

[chorus (extended): joelistics & natalie pa’ana’pa]
hey brother, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha head straight
hey brother, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha head right
hey brother, getcha head straight
[post+chorus: sample]
(say, say, listen to me now)
(say, say, listen to me now)

[outro: sample]
asiatic fever
asiatic fever
got the fever
