[Verse 1]
Gather 'round, people, and I'll tell you a story
Two hundred years of history that's falsified
British invaders that we remember as heroes
Are you ready to tell the other side?
We start our story in 1493
With a piece of paper called the Doctrine of Discovery
Invoked by Pope Alexander VI
Without this good Christian, our story don't exist
[Chorus]
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow
[Verse 2]
Captain James Cook, he boarded a fleet
And he was armed with the Doctrine of Discovery
The same tactics were used by Columbus, it's
How today Australia claims Terra Nullius
'Cause on that paper, the pope did write
That you're only human if you've been saved by Christ
And if there are no Christians in sight
The land you stumble on becomes your God-given right
[Chorus]
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow
Gather 'round, people, and I'll tell you a story
Two hundred years of history that's falsified
British invaders that we remember as heroes
Are you ready to tell the other side?
We start our story in 1493
With a piece of paper called the Doctrine of Discovery
Invoked by Pope Alexander VI
Without this good Christian, our story don't exist
[Chorus]
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow
[Verse 2]
Captain James Cook, he boarded a fleet
And he was armed with the Doctrine of Discovery
The same tactics were used by Columbus, it's
How today Australia claims Terra Nullius
'Cause on that paper, the pope did write
That you're only human if you've been saved by Christ
And if there are no Christians in sight
The land you stumble on becomes your God-given right
[Chorus]
From little things, big things grow
From little things, big things grow
