Song title: Midnight Oil - Who Can Stand In The Way

Edit By: 216.73.216.128

Well oh well I feel Im in decay
John laws is on the air again
Its heavy traffic, jacarandas, eye in the sky and foot on ground
I see a million sand speckd ants in mortal combat hand to hand

And I feel that i
Yes I feel that i
Seem to live this life long distance
Gaze at the things surround me
People rolling in and out
Those circles and tides confound me

And theres just one thing
Yes theres just one thing

Who can stand in the way
When theres a dollar to be made?

I was hanging round off dobroyd point
When the first fleet chain sailed in
Looked into the clearest blue
The scurvy smell, the convicts cry

And we just carried on,
Yes we just carried on

Now choppers strafe the supermarket sky
And people wonder why
Chopping down tons of trees
Got seas of print not a soul can read say
Why do I drown you build brick boxes
One by one now they block my sun
But its metal on metal
Its the dance of tv
If christ were here hed camera check
Hed cry so loud the planes would stop
Hed cry so loud the earth would shake
And men would fall in tinsel town

Theres just one thing
Yes theres just one thing...

Who can stand in the way
When theres a dollar to be made?

Precious moments, precious few
When that dollars more than me and you
Its the joy of forgetting,
Such a joy to forget
But we killed all our firstborn
And we slashed and we burned
And we sold off the paddocks
And we raped and we gouged
On the wings of a six-pack
Will we ever learn?

(moginie/garrett)
