Letras de Midnight Oil
Letra de Common Ground
These are not dispassionate words of the cool
The headline still rules the editoræ¯ a fool
Shall we douse out the flames or will everybody fuse
And leave us stranded here tomorrow
I heard a calling out, a cry from the heart
From the towns of cement and the beauty
A whisper its turned howl, man he didnæ° know
He was standing waiting for tomorrow
Nothingæ¯ left, nothingæ¯ found, there must be some common ground
I could never figure the calendars flow
Nor can I work out how the wild, wild wind blows
But weæ®e ready from within and weæ®e starting to go
Away from the place of no tomorrow
Nothingæ¯ left, nothingæ¯ found, there must be some common ground
Nothingæ¯ left, (???) I see there must be some common ground
Oh the wrecking fields are a terrible place
With a sulphurous smell and a frightening pace
And the Hook goes early and the critic is king
Itæ¯ hard to stay human and stand in the ring
Thereæ¯ no time to be absent, a clown or a fool
While Shylock is smiling weæ®e loaded like mules
If we surrender ourself to industrial rules
Weæ£l wake up in the wreckage of tomorrow
Now
Nothingæ¯ left, nothingæ¯ found, there must be some common ground
Nothingæ¯ left, somethingæ¯ found, can we see some common ground
