Redgum - Where Ya Gonna Run To Lyrics
Mother and child playing on the lawnIt's a middle class home on a Sunday morningAnd the mother says, son, where ya gonna runWhere ya gonna run to now?I just jumped bail on a dope bust mumAnd I'm saying goodbye and then the drug squad comeAnd in the name of the lawThey punch him in the jawWhere ya gonna run to now?A long white car out of TullamarineA government member to the CarribeanAnd a man with a broomYells across the roomWhere ya gonna run to now?Will you have to tell lies when the kids ask you whyThe horizon's a blanket of gloomWhen the battle lines drawWhich way will you turnTerania Creek's got a dozer trackAnd we'll never ever get Lake Pedder backA director and a graphAnd a million dollar laughWhere ya gonna run to now?Enrich the oxide out of Port PirieAnd the toxic gases they won't even seeBut where ya gonna goWhen the North wind blowsWhere ya gonna run to now?And your loungeroom is screening NationwideAnd you've just given blood to the bankAnd the books on your shelvesAre a measure of all that you've earnedWill you have to tell lies when the kids ask you whyThe horizon's a blanket of gloomWhen the battle lines drawWhich way will you turnShake me, wake me, tell me it's a dreamI've got a B-52 on my TV screenAnd a man in a tiePointing to the skyWhere ya gonna run to nowMother and child playing on the lawnIt's a middle class home on a Sunday morningAnd the mother says, son, where ya gonna runWhere ya gonna run to now?
