Land Lyrics - Midnight Oil

I grew tall in this lucky land 

And I thank God for that, but there's needles in the sand 

Ozone in the eucalypt and on the Steppes tonight 

There's pushing and a shoving on the throne tonight 

It's a rhythm of the sea 

Lost islands of hope 

It's a rhythm of the sea 

Who will discover you 

But I won't be down at heel 'cause my senses lead me here 

Dream a South-Pacific dream of now or never land 

It's now or never land 

Rises in rivers in power of the sun 

Rises in sea level, look out Mammon's bastard son 

Infidels are praying at the stock exchange 

Chrome camels are crashing on the smooth terrain 

It's the rhythm of the sea 

Lost islands of hope 

It's the rhythm of the sea 

Someone to carry you 

But I won't be down at heel 'cause my senses lead me here 

Dream a South-Pacific dream of now or never land 

Suitcase full of good ideas, history that's filled with tears 

Kill nostalgia, xenophobic fears 

It's now or never land 

Chant to end 

(Moginie/Garrett)
