Текст (слова) песни: Midnight Oil - Power And The Passion
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
