Midnight Oil - Hercules lyrics

My life is valuable thing

I want to keep it that way

I won't cry

My life's such a valuable thing

And some things don't fade away

But I don't mind

We give the best we can give

We won't forget, we can't forgive

Keep us radioactive free

Strike a bell in Hiroshima Park

You know that we can't see in the dark

We try and we try and we try .....

Who waits for the planes to come

When everybody's got you on the run

South Pacific carry on

It seems to me that what we're saying

Nobody wants to talk about

This is no time to be wondering why

I do the best I can do

The human jungle and the global zoo

I'll find my way, it's a very special world

Why wait for the planes to come

When everybody's got you on the run

South Pacific carry on

Here comes the hercules

Here comes the submarines

Sinking South Pacific dreams

This is something I will remember
