Powderfinger - The Day You Come 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
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 tainted cup
Overpopulation, media sensations
The damage has been done
On the day you come rising up
On the day you come rising up

Powderfinger The Day You Come Comments
They must have had a crystal ball... lyrics predict the current political climate perfectly.
for those of you who do not know the meaning of this song and are curious (or for those of you who just like some fun facts):
This song was written during the Howard Administration in Australia, and during his administration Pauline Hanson got voted in as the Independent leader of Oxley based on her racist and discriminating views, she openly made a speech in parliament stating that it was unfair for white Australians to receive less benefits than Aboriginals and believed that their benefits promoted segregation against white Australians and that any politician that believed otherwise should be thrown out of parliament for promoting segregation. She even went further in the speech to state that she wanted Australia's multiculturalism abolished, fully stating that "I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians" and that they "do not assimilate" into Australia, further stating that "if she has the right to decide who comes into her home, then she should have the right to decide who comes into her country" and "a truly multicultural country can never be strong or united". She then even proceeds to be extremely bigoted and racist in the speech.
This speech was accepted by politicians and vilified by the majority of people, to the point that it even encouraged Bernard Fanning to write this song which he states is his first truly political song as the rest of his danced around issues but never fully were about a political issue until that speech, meaning that this song is about the racism in the government and of the anger of the people that was ignored.

Oh well, good song none the less
The only decent song by powerfinger. Alot of other underated Australian artists sweep under the rug .
The covers band I used to sing for covered this. I enjoyed doing the high falsetto. :) Great song.
Powderfinger are the best :)
great amazing song. weird video though....
Favourite song they do
Very underrated band. Greetings from Nepal.
I heard this song when i was a kid. I was puzzled about the video. Now i think its soothing and i love it.
real baby its in heart baby the words beat says it all hunnnies xx
luv ya powderfinger best eva
I remember this when I was in primary school I loved this song!
Their best song. Unique sound. Wish they wrote more songs with this kind of mood and tone.
I wasn't a big finger fan until 1 morning In 1998 they played this on triple J as the world premier.
I was walking to work and then Bam!
Life changing tune!
I was instantly hooked. The raw guitar and drums at the start get me going every time.
I wish this was played live more back in the day, but man I loved their concerts none the less!
Take me back to 1998 😣
The music video was filmed at The Tivoli in Fortitude Valley Brisbane
I thought this was about the Gluttonous fat cats both in Government and Society controlling and Brain washing the Majority of sheep in society. 😒 I'm not totally sure.
Correct
💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕
1998 memories 😂😂
Love it!!!!
Bernard is so hot. Also I think the thug with the goatee may be a young Damien Garvey( Cal MacGregor, Rake). Wasn't this filmed at the Brisbane Tivoli?
So good
Cal McGregor before Rake 2:00
Love this song. Also love the chick with the hairy pitts
8 people are dumb cunts!
When you realise this was filmed in the Tivoli.
Beautiful song
eew, girl... you gotta shave that shit!
Oh fml those rotten hairy pitted bitch...bic,bitch but a fuckin bic razor NOW!!!!!
Love this song
The limo must have a worn engine going by the smoke when it drove off.
Good observation. Though it might just be condensation (Mist).
Heard this song being played on the radio, had to look it up. Been a long time since I saw the video and its very good!
one of the best songs of the 90s 💖
chicks with hairy armpits is gross ..great song though
Chicks with hairy armpits ARE gross. ;) Awesome song btw.
Incredible song. I saw their last show in Melbourne, and was horribly disappointed they didn't play it
I love this song! Bernard's vocals + the guitar work is fabulous!
The way the multi track vocals at the end get stronger and overshadow the main vocals is incredible
Muse are even better like that
Funny at the end where Bernard gets headbutted
i thought that spoilt the video
Oath, this is there best track
Bon anniversaire Bernard Fanning!!!
Yes, Why has this video been hidden for so many years ???
A chick with a dick. Clearly.
I know right!!! Loved this clip as a kid, and the song is one of my all time favs
very extremely awesome
those pits..... i remember seeing this for the first time as a 16 year old being confused as fuck over whether i thought that chick dancing on the table was hot or not lol
Women who are confident enough to rock their natural body hair can be hot. We've just been conditioned in the West to have an aversion to it. Many countries see female armpit hair as totally normal.
ive been trying to find this video for ages
Me too!
woah 1998 appararanately i only just heard this cx d: . yay
What a joy it is to watch the one and only Fingers! Greetings from Argentina!
