Midnight Oil - Pictures lyrics

I just want to walk through paradise

I just want to see that clear, clear light

Don't want to be a member of species that's deceasing

Keep on making those promises that they ain't keeping

I can't go on living like this

I can't go on

Oh I was a talking to the people next door

They said they don't want to die in a nuclear war

Now we went walking down the old north road

We got a common cause, we got a heavy, heavy load

Because we can't go on living like this

We can't go on

Watching pictures of the world

Watching pictures as they pass me by

Don't stop at that light

Don't go out at night

Watching pictures of the world

Watching pictures as they pass me by

My artificial heart

Expensive spare parts

I've been a sailor on the sea, I've been a flyer in the air

I've seen a whole lot of bleeding hearts out there

They don't talk so much, I tell you they still care

Yes they do, yes they do

They can't go on living like this

They can't go on

They're watching pictures of the world

We're watching pictures as they pass me by

Don't sit around in silence, you don't need a license

Watching pictures of the world

Watching pictures as they pass me by

It's moving in a hurry, but there's no need to worry

We're really going to change it, the critical mass approaches

I can almost hear it
