Power and the Passion

People, wasting away in paradise

Going backward, once in a while

Moving ahead, falling behind

What do you believe, what do you believe?

What do you believe is true

Nothing they say makes a difference this way

Nothing they say will doThey take all the trouble that you can afford

At least you wont have time to be bored

At least you wont have time to be boredOh the power and the passion

Oh the temper of the time

Oh the power and the passion

Sometimes youve got to take the hardest lineSunburnt faces around, with skin so brown

Smiling zinc cream and crowds

Sundays the beach never a cloud

Breathing eucalypti, pushing panel vans

Stuff and munch junk food laughing at the truth

'Cause gough was tough 'til he hit the rough

Uncle Sam and John were quite enoughToo much of sunshine too much of sky

Its enough to make you want to cry

Just enough to make you want to cryOh the power and the passion

Oh the temper of the time

Oh the power and the passion

Sometimes youve got to take the hardest lineBuildings, clothing the sky, in paradise

Sydney, nights are warm

Daytime telly, blue rinse dawn

Dads so bad he lives in the pub

Its a underarms and football clubs

Flat chat, pine gap, in every home a big mac

And no one goes outback, thats thatYou take what you get and get what you please

Its better to die on your feet than to live on your knees

Its better to die on your feet than to live on your kneesOh the power and the passion

Oh the temper of the time

Oh the power and the passion

Sometimes youve got to take the hardest line
