The Dead Heart - Lyrics
We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
Know your custom don't speak your tongue
White man came took everyone
We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
White man listen to the songs we sing
White man came took everything
We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken
We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
Know your custom don't speak your tongue
White man came took everyone

Still listening to Midnight Oil in 2024
It brings me to tears when I hear this song. The fact the band cares enough to make awareness of the plight of the indigenous people of Australia is beautiful!!!! . They obviously aren't singing these songs just for money or because it looks righteous. These issues obviously matter to them and they want all of us to care. I wish more bands were more caring for our brothers and sisters all around the world like this band does!!!!!
❤
😅😅😮@@user-ki4wv3rv6t
Right
The Oils power is in songs that keep Australia busy. Im not Australian but Dutch but I love the Oils.
Midnight Oil's music changed forever when asked to write a song for the Bi Centenary of Australia They visited outback communities for inspiration and found their cause!! Best era and best songs they ever produced.
I love Midnight Oil, i am from Mexico. greetings to all around the globe. I knew this group in 1989
Same here!
I'm leaving this comment here so after a month , a year or 5... when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song ..❤
Reminder, great song.
1st Wave on Sirius played this today, Thanksgiving, and it is so perfect to play on this day.
Dude time to listen to it again 😂😂
🖤❤️💛
December 1st 2023 and I'm singing it for my ancestors, and my dad, RIP, who was stolen generation
🖤💛❤️
In my opinion the best Song of Midnight Oil!😊
This was one of the greatest songs to come out of the 80's...never got played enough.
Too truthful....upset political puppetry
Listening to this since 80s
Because no one cared about the atrocities as much as 80s youth did. We were a special kind
"because no one cared more about atrocities than 80s youth did".
Lol what? 70s were much more activist, more anti war, more counterculture, more anti consumerist, folk songs era. They cared far more for things that mattered. Otherwise, can you five me some counter examples which prove your claim that 80s youth cared the most about atrocities? What did they do to beat 70s or 90s youth? Even if just talking about songs, it's no contest, every second song in 70s was hippy war protest songs, about spreading free love, etc.
80s were boomers and decade of excess, full of consumerist fashion, coke heads instead of weed hippies, start of electronic music and pop music was huge like Michael Jackson, even if he made many songs with a good message, he also had hundreds of millions of dollars, bought theme park never land, decade of excess like I said.. At least 70s hippies were nor hypocrites as much and put their money where their mouths was and protested on the streets for change. 80s did like one band aid or live aid concert, made one song like we are the world, and that's it. 70s every second song from every artist was protest song.
70s were a special kind in a good way, 80s were a special kind in a bad way, or at least when it came to counterculture. 70s was the era of minimalism and hippy protest and counterculture. 80s was the era of mainstream and excess. The war in Vietnam ended, Cold War was basically over, and everyone just forgot and wanted to enjoy to the fullest and not give a shit about anything other than themselves. Hedonistic decade of excess is best way to put it.
Had the 12" in england. Loved the Oils, Love The Oils, still got video - Black fella white fella
This is just uplifting music and nobody was passionate about human rights and history than peter Garrett you sir are an inspiration to myself and many more
He is indeed, George. It's ME, not myself.
Mein Gott, ist das ein Lied!!!! Kann nicht genug davon kriegen!! Soviel Leidenschaft, Energie darin! Tut gut zu hören, dass es sowas gibt!!!!
Ach mein freund tu n a pas eu de colonies.
I'm 55 years old Midnight Oil still Rocks in 2021
52, ha ha, 3 years younger. Lol. Just teasing. I, rather, We are right there with you. Miss my 80s!! Gonna bring 'em back.
This honestly is better than almost anything. Pop is all everybody talk about when this is still around big ups for Midnight Oil.
I mean... it really isn't "all everybody talks about." There are thousands of genres and sub-genres.

I'm from Lima-Perú and I love it this song.

This is a masterpiece. This song says the truth !
From an American, This is my favorite Midnight Oil Song!
Me too brings right back when i was in jr high in Minetonka Minesota!! 👽☮️
Pity Biden and his corporate crony fascists are going to take it all
@@harrymay2528Hmm. No. Your blind partisan hatred of liberals has fucked up your thinking. You're lost, on the wrong side of history and the world will leave you behind. Peace.
Took my Daughter and her friend camping in the Okanogan, beautiful BC Canada. The both jammed out and danced the shit out of that CD, they both were 12...
“We follow in the steps of our ancestors” is one of the best music lines of all time it’s sounds amazing and the way Peter says it is amazing
Yeah, but what is his ancestry? Aboriginal or rather Anglo-Saxon?
He’s white and anglo descended, championing indigenous rights. They’re not mutually exclusive.
@@streamsofsunlight He should champion for colonizers to leave Australia and go back to Europe. It is time to give the land back!
Native people need to rise up and take back what is theirs!!
@@Pagangirl8yeah. Good luck with that.😂
@@Pagangirl8 That is what he did. But that is also what is never going to happen.
Brilliant after all these years. 🎉
I'm 65 years old just love their music brilliant band,
😉69 years old french woman 🥰
70 here and dancing!
Such a beautiful song by one of Australia's most finest bands ever! Much respect and all the best from a great fan of Australia from Romania! I understand the meaning and the references of this song, from the British colonisation to the troubled economic history of the late 20th century (which Men at Work also highlight in the music video of 'Down Under' according to frontman Colin Hay). Much love and respect to Australia from Romania! Rock on! 🤘
P.S.: Midnight Oil, Goanna, AC/DC, Men at Work, INXS, The Church, Mondo Rock, Icehouse, John Farnham, and many others have been some of my all time most favourite musical acts for quite a long time! Much respect to Australia and Australians once again! 🇦🇺
How can you forget Little River Band 😅 they're soo underrated
My vote for the greatest Australian rock single. Always a highlight of Midnight Oil live shows.
travel around autralia 1987 this was a massive hit ! listen to this sometime just to dream back of a fantastic time
Who is listening in 2024?
'sup
Yessirrr
Hell yeah! Song with a purpose
Io grandi
Humor is alive in 2024. Esp with this band.
This is my favorite MIDNIGHT OILS song everything about it gets to my soul!
ya that ...can't be broken....absolute.......
Coz ur abo
❤
Esta bien amigos
Esta bien amigos mi casa musia
These guys...So underplayed in the US. Peter garett is a solid man. Much respect.
Underplayed in south africa aswell
'Don't need protection, don't need your hand
Keep your promise on where we stand
We will listen, we'll understand'
Still listening to this video and band in 2024 sounds great as always does
Best concert I ever been in my life was Midnight Oil, when they came to Toronto Ontario.
Me as child : Cool song.
Me as adult : Crying understing the text.
I grew up in France’s south west too. Back then the lyrics was the last of our worries… music and emotions first… sometimes years later I stopped listening to some bands when I understood how retarded the lyrics were. :-)
Love yourself and move forward.
I m w you , the lyrics are the pure reality of what happened time before, we can always change it...
I understood it as a kid. I always loved this💕👍
Read The Fatal Shore: The Epic of Australia's Founding - by Robert Hughes
One of their greatest songs.
One of the greatest bands of all time !
Midnight Oil is so underrated
100% Agreed! They never got the credit they deserved and they were ahead of their time.
Just in the USA.
Human nature grants us the clarity of hindsight, but often only after it's too late
I think so too 日本より。
NO THEY AREN'T! Seriously, find a new word bc that is flogged to death on yt and on bands and musicians it doesn't apply to!
Midnight oil, they did make awareness of the indigenous people of our Australia . I understand the conflicts, bud they are the are heart of our true country. We must respect that.
Still a Song that means a lot for the exploited peoples worldwide. Hope to see you guys back in Brazil soon. We surely need it.
the best song of the 80's and the band did it well they fought well they did a lot for aboriginal australians
Actually peter and co capitalised on indigenous history in Australia. They did not do shit
@@rickybarrett7655 You are full of shit Ricky if that's what you think! He was president of the Australian Conservation Foundation for ten years. do your homework.
@@rickybarrett7655you talk absolute rubbish 😠 👎
Still gives me chills after all these years.
Yes, indeed
Listening to this since 30 years
THIS.
Really does
I found this band cca 3 months ago... And i can't stop listening
I'm Australian but I stand beside the indigenous people... that is my country and I am not not indigenous.but they are my favourite people.
Life is full of surprises, and this song was popular in Latin America. I remember watching this song on MTV; maybe I didn't understand the lyrics at that time (because I speak Spanish), but it certainly caught my attention. And today, I am using some Indigenous Australian perspectives in my postgrad.. thanks Midnight Oil!
Listening in MX.
This song is a real masterpiece.
Criminally underrated band
A unreal fantastic song 🔥🔥🔥🔥
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken.....awesome!!!
My friend is part aboriginal and she has loved this song ever since I showed her. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG AND MIDNIGHT OIL
There's no such thing as a part so-called Aboriginal. You are whatever your father is.
And so called Aboriginal people are really ISRAELITES from the tribe of REUBEN.
@@yahawahreuben1159 pretty sure we know what she means.
@@yahawahreuben1159 okay schizo
Again, and again: this is the best song, EVER.
Okay, one of A very few OF THE BEST
Top five ...These guys are incredible.......I think they are touring now.....
They are, and I'm going. Their band is legit awesome.
I'm going tomorrow....Porto Alegre, Brazil.. \o/
PolishPolackski and tw
very mediocre
This is tough! Great song, great message, these guys killed!
Still do!
Great son, great album, great band.
Blasted this song down my outback Main Street this morning. So bloody relevant 🖤💛❤️
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Midnight Oil. Peter Garrett you will make a difference by changing people's minds through the music of Midnight Oil.
+Rebecca Gray When you're talking about the oldest surviving single culture on earth things are different Australian Aborigines can now be traced back for 60,000 years
so does the native american people
Obrigada por vcs fazerem parte nesse planeta. Vcs fizeram a diferencia no meu universo musical. Vcs são os melhores, eu amo vcs de paixão... 😍😍😍
Yes. Thanks so much. Midnight Oil for your music very nice.
Peter Garrett had his chance to change things when he was elected to the Australian government . He was even Minister of the environment, He did little and even modified his views,
One of my favorite bands in the 80's......... still rocks!!
Great show last night in Oakland, OILS FOREVER!
This was the first Midnight Oil song I ever heard back in the late 80s. It woke up my ears. Naive, simple, pure, visceral and honest.
Same here. I was in pakistan in the late 80's and my friend, Jude Dias, came over to my house and said Andrew you have to hear this. This song blew me away.. My friend has since passed away but every time I listen to this I see him rocking with me. May he RIP.
The things that Midnight Oil stood for.
They were trying to look after their Country, just as some of our artists try to make us aware of the issues in America!
Bad dancing
@@stevenwade147 the laughs on you
Steven Wade legendary dancing
what was that...? wasnt black stuff.
We watched them live in Auckland a couple of years ago. bloody brilliant. they still had the Power and the Passion. The Oils Rule
Jim and Martin smiling at each other strumming together made me want to buy a guitar. I love this song.
They look damned cool.
3:16 Caramba, eu também!!! (OMG! Me Too!!!)
Totally Get Ya. Same as Motorbike and a Chattering.
I miss Midnight Oil!
A lot.
touring again .. got my tickets

Here here shame he sold out
30 years on & probably more relevant today than when it was originally written.
Dead right
how can we sleep , our BEDS are Burning
Bloody oath!
i can't sleep while my shlong is burning
It is. 30 yrs? Has it been so long,
Já fui ao um Show desta banda aqui no Brasil...foi muito bommmmm!!!❤❤❤❤❤
This band and their music are timeless classic!❤up until now im keeping their cassette tapes!
still listen to Midnight Oil in 2020 ❤✊
I sure do, they are brilliant.
🙋🏻♀️
Great music stands the test of time. Midnight Oil is one of those rare groups whose music still sounds as fresh and new as it was when it first came out. And lyrically, still as relevant today, maybe even more so than ever.
Yea. This song is about. Black. Fellas 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺. Australian
Took. Everyone
One of the great rock and roll bands
We the people of this ancient land still listen and understand. Thank you for raising a generation of people who reject the Eurocentric past and look to future based on an understanding of the 60,000 plus year old history of this place.
It will only get better, be patient
I listened to this song when homeless and on the Victoria and NSWales border in 1996. Was working in a small town called Goodnight, then wander the road.
Mid night oil was always my rebellion soundtrack.
Oh man again memory lane!! Used to listen with my older brother when I was a child and still loving this song and BEDS ARE BURNING.. and now I'm 35 lol..Still loving it..
Try 63 hun. And yeah, still loving it.
Elsa, I'm 72 and love it more than ever-keep the Faith
This has always been my fav song by the Oils. So much looking forward to seeing them again in Cologne, Germany.
Good music is timeless . Great music speaks the truth no-holds barred. and great music is eternal. 🎶😭🎶☮️ "We carry in our hearts the true country. and that cannot be stolen. we follow in the steps of our ancestry and that cannot be broken. 🎶" - sang a Norse blood born East L.A. and moved to Japan the land of the rising sun. i'm just continuing my ancestor's quest west. i landed in thd far East. That Pacific is doozy. 🖖😀🎶☮️
I used to love this song when it first came out. Glad I found it again! 😃
This is still my favorite song by them all these years later.
Tonight the night 🤗👍 Midnight Oil in Germany /Gelsenkirchen, i'm so happy 🌞😎
Such an awesome song. Very old, but yet, here we are listening and loving it.
I so wish I could see them live.
Greetings from South Africa!
This is a MASTERPIECE 🌞🌞
November 2019 and this song is still one of the best EVER written.
30 years on & probably more relevant today than when it was originally written.
This song is so beautiful with its meaning and the music and everything
If only Poor Afrikaners stuck in South Africa could be treated like ur 🇦🇺 Aboriginals in regards to legitimate Minority Rights.
Now Australia 🇦🇺 is concerned about 🇨🇳 but it was so easy for former AU PM Bob Hawke and the rest of the world to support the Communist takeover of South Africa back then. Always much easier if it’s not ur family thrown into oblivion. Thanks Emily Hobhouse RIP❤️. ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE 👨👩👧✝️
Wat het die Boer vir geveg en teen wie? 😭😭😭 kan ons nog op staan, en hoe?
ironically, so alive!! Makes the short list of my favourite songs
We carry in our heart the true country.....and that can't be stolen...follow in the steps in .....and it cannot be broken..........
@@lindahoeymakers8898 Me too, I find this sentence very symbolic, very strong (We follow in the steps *of our ancestry* and it cannot be broken)

37 years later; and still sounding fresh as an Australian daisy!
Que música boa 🌹 eu gosto muito 🌹 ótima para ouvir 🌹 parabéns a todos vcs 🌹
Obrigado.... 🎉
My mum is the librarian at my school and when we were in year five she played this song for us. how cool is that!
Such a powerful song. It gives me chills every time
I actually think that this is their best song and that’s saying something.
So moving and musical! Timeless perfection!
Another Australian band that I loved listening to and still do to this day.
The writing and that mix of great riffs plus kind of a sad ballad is just great.
We tried to do a mix of rock and ballad with one of our latest song, would love your views on it. Return from people liking the same music is always great. stay safe in the meantime : ruclips.net/video/RCZScxA1Hk4/видео.html
I have followed Peter Garret and Midnight Oil since my A.N.U student days where they would often play as Peter was a Graduate. Then at Tanelorn Mind Body Spirit festiva,l then at Stompem Ground (2) Broome . They Grew with me into our Country .
I'm also from ANU.
essa música continua contagiando em 2023💚💛
Verdade. Concordo com você.
Such a stoic seriousness yet upbeat feel to this song.. amazing
“Beds Are Burning!” I’m a Midnight Oil Fan. Excellent
A favorite song by Midnight Oil, off Diesel and Dust, a great album.
Ouço Midnight, desde de os meus 8 anos de idade, e hoje aos 38 em 29/01/2022 ouço como se fosse com os meus 8 anos. Sou muito fã dessa banda graças ao meu primo Ivan! Obrigado primo por me apresentar esta banda maravilhosa!
Da hora! Fui ver o show deles no Olympia em SP ...nem lembro o ano..kkkkk
Eu tenho 44 ;)
O Clássico!!! Bons Tempos com excelentes Músicas!!!
Hands down my favorite tune by Midnight Oil!
+lurch321 AGREED.
I like 'stand in line'
Always play their songs , one of the best of 80s
Loved this band in the 80s. Love them in 2024. Love what they stand for. I love that Paul Garrett got to follow his dream. He cares.❤ Looking forward to the new documentary about the band when it comes out!
When no one wanted to talk or think about these sorts of things, Midnight Oil told everyone what happened and what needs to be done to correct these things! I look white. I am an American but most of my ancestry is American Indian (my dad was 100% and my mom was about 20%) so I know how it is both ways! No one can say that everything that Europeans did here were good but also they were not always bad. We need to speak about all these things because when we don't they are lost.
I don't think we have to constantly bring up this issue. However, what you just said is exactly what we need to talk more about. You hit the nail on the head. A balanced way of looking at this, wasn't all good, yet wasn't all bad. I live in Canada and all I hear is how white man has never done anything good, yet our quality of life is a million times better than it was 200 years ago so..... People are becoming so spoiled, it's pathetic. A lot of people will literally complain about everything in their " awful society" while sitting at home collecting a check that basically gives them everything they need to live without doing shit!! Im not against welfare at all. I'm against this attitude of entitlement that people are starting to have more and more. I didn't say that pointing the finger at native people, but that is how I see them when they can't find one good word to say about the white man , but at the same time they have their hands open demanding more money.
I'm scared my brother. Earth is our goddess. Let's get together and save her. Peace!
This is about Australian history not American
@@donoteatbluedirt8529 it's the same in the usa.
Nathan, Mark, Steve and Doug. This band has cashed in on the problems between the races nothing more nothing less, they spread divide between brothers. If it's a fight they want a fight they'll get, ship stirrers sometimes have to Lick the Spoon. What race am I? I'm from the human race on a little blue marble.
Even time bows down to this song! Dead Heart you''re breaking my heart apart.
Great song from August of 1988. I remember watching this video on MTV on heavy rotation at the time.
Eu devia ter uns 12 anos qdo ouvia essa música .. hj aos 44anos bateu saudades
Pure class. I hope the world listens to the words. It's nearly too late.
I take what I can from the song and move on. I did years ago with this song. Love it. All of Midnight Oil songs meant something to me
FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE MISTER BARRET NÃO SERVIMOS SEU REI NÃO SERVIMOS A NINGUÉM! !!!
This is my all-time favourite Oils song, ,the Bass line and Acoustic chords are killer but the lyrics define this song in Australia so much.
Essa música serve tanto para Austrália, como Brasil , Argentina, Índia e tantos outros que foram invadidos , "colonizados" e que agora ficam em busca de sua identidade.
Fantástico Midnight Oil! Thanx a lot!
Verdade.
PreColombianos não tiveram a minima chance... literalmente massacrados...
Disse tudo
Isso mesmo. Invadido.kkkk gostei do adjetivo Boy
@Marcelo...belas palavras!! Midnight Oil é original e ótimo também! !
Great song ! Great band ! Great front man !
But frontman came took everything
Das ist ein Lied, wie es viele andere geben sollte! Zeitlos, Wahnsinns Text und Melodie, hervorragende Band. Leute, so solltemusik sein. Mir midnight oil hab ich immer gemocht. Daran wird sich nix ändern.
Altos som! Curto desde 1992 quando ouvi pela primeira vez, está na minha play list até hoje! ❤👏🏻👏🏻
most honest band ever. no bullshit. never sold out. and fucking good music.
yes, excepted the case of Pete Garrett when he committed for real in politics... ;-)
Beside, it's been one of my favorite bands for many years...
Damn right fam!!!
