Midnight Oil - Tone Poem lyrics

like a heat wave breaking as you smell warm rain

we can fade away or start over again

in a high five season in a cut-price land

the southern cross don't shine on that invisible hand

where will you live when the fields are falling?

where will you live when the feedlots calling?

everybody standing in the treetops saying

where will you live? where will you live?

everyone dosen't have to beg or borrow

were going to move into a new tomarrow

where will you live? where will you live?

invisable hand clutching at the throat

statistical sham an emperor's rags its sad its so sad

because equality's the only plea green fields are burning

the reefs on fire and bellies are swollen they're hurting

a willing victims I don''t think so

we won't be pinned agains't the wall

there is no slogan that can feed you

where will you live when the fields are falling?

where will you live when the feedlots calling?

everybody standing in the treetops saying

where will you live? where will you live?

tearing up your ticket for the new titanic

heat haze refugee no-one panic

where will you live when the water comes over?

where will you live? where will you live?

take a deep breath don't have to drown in sorrow

take a deep breath for a new tomarrow

the bow will break the cradle fall

we won't be jammed against your wall
