lyrics

He woke up before the sun
and he went to work for the man
to be accepted
And while he's away, his babies in bed
a big big man put a gun to their heads

Josephine, just 12 years old
an innocent thing if you know what I mean
Militant demon gets in her way
and now at night she lays screaming in her bed

And a big big man put a gun to Grandma's head

So wrong, it's yesterday's song
and we say we are one with our people
and then we move on
No not right, thieves in the night
That dark day in October
they came to deliver their lies

Never, never, ever, let a big man
put a gun to Grandma's head

Never let a big big man put a gun to Grandma's head

Little Bushman New Zealand

Built on the shoulders of classic 60s psychedelic rock, lyrical folk and contemporary New Zealand blues music, Wellington quartet “Little Bushman” exemplify unpredictable, sincere musical explorations. Filtering the real, the unreal and things worth standing up for into song, this is music optimistically dreaming of a better tomorrow, re-imagined one note at a time. Enjoy! Peace, Little Bushman ... more
