Midnight Oil

"Theres a shit storm acoming, I feel it coming soon. Theres a time and a place, And a moment in space When the fat boys call the tune. Theres a bubble a bouncing And its bouncing my way. Theres two sticks in the powderworks, I think its gonna blow today."

"People wasting away In paradise. Going backwards, once in a while, Taking your time, give it a try. What do you believe, what do you believe? What do you believe is true? Nothing they say makes a difference this way, Nothing they say will do."

"Put down that weapon or well all be gone, You cant hide nowhere with the torchlight on. And it happens to be an emergency. Some things arent meant to be, Some things dont come for free."

"We dont serve your country, Dont serve your king. Know your custom, dont speak your tongue. White man came took everyone."

"The backbone of this countrys broken; The land is cracked and the land is sore. Farmers are hanging on by their fingertips. We cursed and stumbled across that shore. What for?"

"Sign says honeymoon to rent, Cloudland into dreamland turns. The sun comes up and we all learn Those wheels must turn."

"Sing me songs of no denying, Seems to me too many trying, Waiting for the next big thing.Will you know it when you see it? High risk children, dogs of war."

"Everybody say god is a good man. Ah, clock on the world, Driving a dump truck up to the sun, A sigh in the human heart.I look at the clock on the wall, It says three minutes to midnight. Faith is blind when were so near."

"Breaking me down - lunatic noises. Breaking me down - desperate voices. Breaking me down - phone is blistering. Breaking me down - death by listening."

"The time has come to say fairs fair, To pay the rent, to pay our share. The time has come, a facts a fact. It belongs to them, lets give it back.How can we dance when our earth is turning? How do we sleep while our beds are burning? How can we dance when our earth is turning? How do we sleep while our beds are burning?"

"And if we think about it, And if we talk about it, And if the skies go dark with rain, Can you tell me, does our freedom remain?"

"The rich get richer, The poor get the picture. The bombs never hit you when youre down so low.Some got pollution, Some revolution. There must be some solution but I just dont know."
