Midnight Oil

Midnight Oil - Truganini lyrics

Your rating:
Roads are cut,lines are down
We'll be stayin' at the Roman bath
'til that monsoon passes on.

The backbone of this country's broken
The land is cracked and the land is sore
Farmers are hangin' on by their fingertips
Cursed and stumbled across that shore
What for?

(Refrain)
I hear much support for the monarchy
I hear the Union Jack still remains
I see Namijira in custody
and I see Truganini's in chains

And the world won't stand still
And the world won't stand still

The blue collar work it don't get you nowhere
You just go round and round in debt
Sombody's got you on that treadmill,mate
And I hope your not beaten yet,not yet

Refrain
neat solo where Peter Garrett flails around

I hear much support for the monarchy
I see the Union Jack in flames (Let it buuuurn)
I see Namijira with dignity
and I see Truganini's in chains (chain)

And the world won't stand still
And the world won't stand still
(chains)
And the world won't stand still
And the world won't stand still
