Midnight Oil - Forgotten Years Lyrics
Few of the sins of the father, are visited upon the sonHearts have been hard, our hands have been clenched in a fist too longOur sons will never be soldiers, our daughters will never need gunsThese are the yrs betweenThese are the yrs that were hard fought and wonContracts torn at the edges, old signatures stained with tearsSeasons of war and peace, these should not be forgotten yaersStill it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politicsHow many dreams remain? this is a feeling too strong to containThe hardest years, the darkest yrs, the roarin yrs, the fallen yrsThese should not be forgotten yrsThe hardest yrs, the wildest yrs, the desperate and divided yrsWe will remember, these should not be forgotten yrsOur shoreline was never invaded, our country was never in flamesThis is the calm we breathe, this is a feeling too strong to containStill it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politicsSignatures stained with tears, who can rememberWeve got to rememberThe hardest...Forsaking aching breaking yrs, the time and tested heartbreak yrsThese should not be forgotten yrsThe blinded yrs, the binded yrs, the desperate and divided yrsThese should not be forgotten yrs, remember(hirst/moginie)
