Midnight Oil - Say Your Prayers Lyrics
Don't want to live in a prison celldon't want to live in a smoking room,independence just won't come to youin the brief of a diplomat.Say your prayers for the futuresay your prayers for the past,it might be round the cornerit might be all we have.Say your Prayers.Don't want to live with a compromisedon't want to live with hypocrisy,bureaucracy doesn't have to winbreaks the cage of the beast within.Say your prayers in the boardroomsay your prayers on the stairs,it might be catastrophicit might be too damn bad.Say your prayers.I got the cure for compassion fatiguespend a week with the Timorese,running scared from the militaryyou can share you can share your disease.Now we don't live with an absent masterwe don't live on an island divided,don't want my kids to grow up in shamein a country with a different namehad to throw them out, had to break the chains.I got the cure for compassion fatiguespend a week with the Timorese,running scared from the militaryI come to you with a plaintive plea.
