Power And The Passion Song Lyrics
Print Version
W - Hirst/Moginie/Garrett
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

"I dont want to run I dont want to stay
Cos everything thats near and dear is old and in decay
Emergency has gone, apathy rolling on
Time to take a stand..." | Concrete

Flaking metal a silent witness
There's chemical fields and cathode clouds
The milky way is emasculated as exhaust fans..." | Cemetery In My Mind

Looking for salvation in a car headlight
But you can't have what you can't buy
Tomorrow is better than yesterday,..." | Comfortable Place On The Couch

Too afraid to go out on your own
Comfortable place on the couch
Natures a stranger keep it out..." | Safety Chain Blues

Lifebuoy crash lands in a vale of tears
All the lovers are in retreat
Out on the edge of the nervous street..." | Return To Sender
"Well I want to return to my sender
Well I want to return
There is so much that I can't remember
But there's so much to choose..." | Blot
"Welcome stranger listen in
The presumption of innocence was buried again
Carve up-selloff
Triumphalism gotta be a curse or even worse..." | The Great Gibber Plain
"From the great gibber plain
To the Indian ocean
From the stones at my feet
To my sawn off emotions..." | |
