Headlights, white lines, black tar rivers
|
Dragging me around this country as it whithers
|
The billboards, signposts, standing in the way
|
Tell of the state of the nations, that we find today
|
|
And we play and we play
|
To every day, every day
|
To every day
|
|
In the front rooms of old towns far from the city
|
With beat up guitars and hearts full of pity
|
The people gather round singing songs from everywhere
|
Torn from the nation, left without a care
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word
|
And we'll rid the bloody world cos
|
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
|
The one's that always stay make the world go away
|
|
Warm night, clear sky, European town
|
Out side the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd
|
Open boots, violin, banjo and a voice
|
Exiled buskers, happy with their choice
|
|
CHORUS
