It's A Long Long Way

Chorus 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 Chorus It's a long long way from here Don't you worry yourself my dear It's a long long way from here
