(CHORUS)
|
|
It's a long long way from here
|
Don't you worry yourself my dear
|
It's a long long way from here
|
|
|
Drought and famine in TV land
|
Read the sunday papers credit card ina your hand
|
Sing your song of freedom just to ease your troubled mind
|
And save your guilty pennies for the ones you leave behind
|
|
|
The burden that you carry from the cradle to the grave
|
Is like a badge of honour that you wear upon your sleeve
|
You make your contribution and you shed a little tear
|
And stage your celebration just to show how much you care
|
|
|
You obscure your stolen power with hypocrisy and lies
|
Your talk of understanding is a wafer thin disguise
|
You glorify my image but deny me flesh and blood
|
You radiate with goodness when you here me beg for food
|
|
|
Those rivers of blood will flow again
|
Someone changed the lyrics but the song remains the same
|
You can build a wall of protocol to keep the wolves at bay
|
But history dictates that someone has to pay
|
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
It's a long long way from here
|
Don't you worry yourself my dear
|
It's a long long way from here
|
