Welcome strangers to the show
I'm the one who should be lying low
Saw the knives out, turned my back
Heard the train coming, stayed right on that track
In the middle, in the middle
In the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
Yeah, them dumb things
This goin' out to all my brothers down there in Don Dale
Dealin' with that disaster that them guards are there and not jail
Thinking we gettin' our welfare, huh?
Thinking we gettin' our healthcare, huh?
Think about if it was your son
Now think about sending some help there, yeah
What's dumber than that mate?
What's dumber than dressing up blackface?
What's dumber than doing it knowing it
Hurts and don't even work to make that change
Let's go
In the middle, in the middle
In the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
(We got)
We got islands, for the ones who seekin' asylum
We got silence, for the ones who died in confinement
If you're complacent, to the words of a racist
Don't you dare complain when, that's what leading your nation
Send in the clowns, they're blackfacing
They're locking up couples
They're locking up brothers, but they ain't leavin' the station
The date's changin'
In the middle, in the middle
In the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
Ladies and gentleman, on the keys and drums
Mr John, Mr Paul Bartlett AKA SixFour
On the guitar my brother Dan Sultan
And to my right, Mr Paul Kelly
Yeah, them dumb things
Lumped in, looking for peace, but won't find it
They holdin' us back from closing the gap by keeping them close minded
See, no surprises there, hearing both of them sirens blare
Them coppers where I'm from are kind of
Fair, if you kinda fair
What's a royal commission to the ones who live on a mission
To the ones who's killed by the system
By the ones that's meant to assist 'em
At the hands of policemen, who's gonna police them?
They killin' us Koori's
They got it on footage, they need to release them
In the middle, in the middle
In the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
Mr John Bartlett
My brother Dan Sultan
Mr Paul Kelly
In the middle, in the middle
In the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
Yeah I'm melting wax to fix my wings
Threw my hat into the ring
I thought that I just had to sing
I've done all the dumb things
I'm the one who should be lying low
Saw the knives out, turned my back
Heard the train coming, stayed right on that track
In the middle, in the middle
In the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
Yeah, them dumb things
This goin' out to all my brothers down there in Don Dale
