 Band Quotes:

It wasn't an anti one nation song. It was supposed to be just saying that there's people in Australia who are disadvantaged. And that if everyone starts thinking about that, then we might be able to.. (fades into a mumble, but something about making it better, lol) 

It was bad timing, maybe good timing. 

(The song being released just as the one nation party was at its peak)

-Bernard Fanning

I wouldn't certainly say that we've written any protest songs- The Day You Come is the closest to that kind of song, and that typically, like most of our songs can be construed in many ways. And  it was particularly about the way Australian electret I suppose is moving, and thinking.

-Bernard Fanning

Lyrics:

memories are fading
a single voice complaining
while days are stacking up
it’s hardly worth debating
the people are frustrated
drink from poison cup
the system is collapsing
conscience is relapsing
the damage has been done

on the day you come rising up
on the day you come rising up

vision is rejected
the people’s choice is tested
so ignorance has won
children are infected
remedy suggested
don’t drink from poison cup
overpopulation, media sensations
the damage has been done

on the day you come rising up
on the day you come rising up
