Midnight Oil - Mountains Of Burma Lyrics
The tucker box is empty now, the heart of kellys country clearedThe gangers on the southern line, like the steam trains have disappearedPelicans glide, miracles up in the skyWe vote for the government, with axes in his eyesMountains of burma, the road to mandalayIn the mountains of burma, light years away, mountains of burmaWill the sons of solidarity, still march on may dayAnd will the sisters of the seventies, still fight for equal payTheres no on eon the reeperbahn, no more blankets handed out for landWe feed an economy, thats got blood on its handsMountains of burma...Pack your bags full of guns and ammunitionBills fall due for the industrial revolutionScorch the earth till the earth surrendersSoldiers of armies, storm empty fieldsIn a travellers trance, on the way to the high frontierSleepwalkers stumble, cable cars run agroundImaginary enemies, form high above the cloudsIn the mountains of burma...(hirst)
