My Country Lyrics - Midnight Oil

Was it just a dream, were you so confused 

Was it just a giant leap of logic 

Was it the time of year, that makes a state of fear 

Methods were the motives for the action 

And did I hear you say 

My country right or wrong 

Did you save your face 

Did you breach your faith 

Women, there were children at the shelter 

Now who can stop the hail 

When human senses fail 

There was never any warning, no escape 

Did I hear you say 

My country right or wrong 

My country oh so strong 

My country going wrong 

My country right or wrong 

I hear you say the truth must take a beating 

The flag a camouflage for your deceiving 

I know, yes I know 

It's written on your soul 

I know, we all make mistakes 

This is not a case of blurred vision 

It's a case of black holes, pocket holes, soul holes 

And did I hear you say... 

(Hirst)
