People, wasting away in paradise
Going backward, once in a
while
Moving ahead, falling behind
What do you believe
What do you believe
What
do you believe is true
Nothing they say makes a difference this way
'Cos nothing
they say will do
Take all the trouble that you can afford
At least you won't have time to
be bored
Oh the power and the passion
Oh the temper of the time
Oh the power
and the passion
Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line
I see sunburnt faces
around
With skin so brown
Smiling zinc cream and crows
Sundays the beach never a
cloud
Breathing eucalypt, pushing panelvans, stuff and munch junk food
Laughing at the
truth, 'cos Gough was tough till he hit the rough
Uncle Sam and John were quite enough
Too
much of sunshine too much of sky
It's enough to make you wanna cry
I see buildings,
clothing the sky in paradise
Sydney, where the nights are warm
Daytime telly, blue rinse
dawn
Dad's so bad he lives in a pub, underarms and football clubs
Flat chat, Pin Gap in
every home a Big Mac
And no one goes back, that's that
You take what you get and get what
you please
It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
