Power and the Passion Lyrics
Artist(Band):Midnight Oil
Review The Song (1)Print the Lyrics
People, wasting away in paradise
Going backwards, once in a while
Takin' your time, give it a try
What do you believe, what do you believe
What do you believe is true?
And nothing they say makes a difference this way
Nothing they say will do

You take all the trouble that you can afford
At least you won't have time to be bored x2

Oh, the power and the passion
Oh, the temper of the time
Oh, the power and the passion
Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line

Sunburned faces around, with skin so brown
Smiling, zinc cream and crowds, Sundays the beach never a cloud
Breathing eucalypt, pushing panel vans
Stuff and munch junk food
Laughing at the truth, cos Gough was tough til he hit the rough
Hey Uncle Sam and John were quite enough

Too much of sunshine too much of sky
It's just enough to make you wanna cry x2

Oh, the power and the passion
Oh, the temper of the time
Oh, the power and the passion
Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line

I see buildings, clothing the sky, in paradise
Sydney, nights are warm
Daytime telly, blue rinse dawn
And Dad's so bad he lives in the pub, it's a underarms and football club
A flat chat Pine Gap, in every home a Big Mac,
And no one goes outback, that's that

You take what you get, you get what you please
Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees
It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees

Oh, the power and the passion
Oh, the temper of the time
Oh, the power and the passion
Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line
(repeat)

Review about Power and the Passion

Midnight Oil's Power and the Passion | Reviewer: Alex | 7/12/2007

Best band from this country ever... Wish the whole world could hear all the songs from these earlier albums: Head Injuries, Place without a Postcard, 10...9...8...., Diesels and Dust. But look them up on a site like Limewire and what do you find? Lots of "Beds are Burning"... which is almost a popsong and top 10 hit...Shame.... Almost everything else they did early in their career was and is much much better than that.
