Minutes To Midnight Lyrics - Midnight Oil

Everybody say god is a good man 

Ah, clock on the world 

Driving a dump truck up to the sun 

A sigh in the human heart 

I look at the clock on the wall 

It says three minutes to midnight 

Faith is blind when we're so near 

Phar Lap floating in a jar 

Seas full of submarines, A.W.A.C.'s like flies 

Truth gets harder to define 

Talking in tongues 

But the dancer's hand grips the rail 

And fingers will blister on the 88's 

Hope drains out of the side of the page 

But ear's can't hear 

What eyes don't see 

And you can't see me 

Everybody say God is a good man 

Everybody say 1,2,3 

Set up those gunsights in H.G. Wells backyard 

I.C.B.M's, S.S.20's they lie so dormant they got so many 

Remember your childhood 

Remember the journey 

Hope is what you say and do
