[Refrain]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

[Verse 1: Peter Garrett]
First nation, first nation
First to deserve an explanation
First nation, first nation
Last to receive an invitation

[Refrain]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

[Verse 2: Peter Garrett]
First nation, first nation
When we gonna start the conversation?
When we gonna start the celebration? (Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
When we gonna end the exploitation? (Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
When we gonna say the word "invasion"?

[Chorus: Peter Garrett & Jessica Mauboy]
Out loud
We're waiting
Still waiting
Nation within the nation
Still waiting
Nation within a nation
