Yes - Birthright Lyrics
(anderson / howe / wakeman / bruford / bacon)In 1954 the british government, in order to maintain the balanceOf power between east and west, exploded their first atom bomb atWoomera. they failed to contact all of the aborigine peoples atThe time. the aborigines still call this the day of the cloud.A new born landDreaming by the skyThe scent of coloursIn the flowersBelieve its smallIn many waysIt holds the keyThat divides the super powersThis road is never lonelyTo england they are tiedThey were blasted by the silver cloudThere were blasted to the wall aliveThis place, this place aint big enough for stars and stripesCounting out the statesmenBungling one by oneSpelling out this segregationSo the catchword beLooking after number oneThey release the fear insideAre human after allSo begins our dream timeThey hunted like the dinosaurWe the pureThey the savage innocentHow we crush our existence after allCome onFor without themWe are lonelyThis england we are blindLike all the empires crumbleWill surely change the tideThis place aint big enough for red and whiteThis place aint big enough for stars and stripesThis place - this placeThis place is theirs, by their birthrightThis placeThe sun gives better reasonsUnited we are blindTo deliver our existenceKeep it upKeep it upThis human tide, give it someWe can break the tiesOf recent changesKnow the ones whoHold the keySinging out the congregationWe are them and they are weThis place aint big enough for red and whiteThis place aint big enough for stars and stripesThis placeThis placeThis place is theirs by their birthright
