Song language: English
It's A Long Long Way |
| It’s a long long way from here |
| Don’t you worry yourself my dear |
| It’s a long long way from here |
| Drought and famine in tv land |
| Read the sunday papers credit card ina your hand |
| Sing your song of freedom just to ease your troubled mind |
| And save your guilty pennies for the ones you leave behind |
| The burden that you carry from the cradle to the grave |
| Is like a badge of honour that you wear upon your sleeve |
| You make your contribution and you shed a little tear |
| And stage your celebration just to show how much you care |
| You obscure your stolen power with hypocrisy and lies |
| Your talk of understanding is a wafer thin disguise |
| You glorify my image but deny me flesh and blood |
| You radiate with goodness when you here me beg for food |
| Those rivers of blood will flow again |
| Someone changed the lyrics but the song remains the same |
| You can build a wall of protocol to keep the wolves at bay |
| But history dictates that someone has to pay |
| It’s a long long way from here |
| Don’t you worry yourself my dear |
| It’s a long long way from here |
