Powderworks Lyrics - Midnight Oil

There's a shit storm a'coming 

I feel it coming soon 

There's a time and a place 

And a moment in space 

When the fat boys call the tune 

There's a bubble a bouncing 

And it's bouncing my way 

There's two sticks in the powderworks 

I think it's gonna blow today 

There's a shit storm a'coming 

Somebody's claiming some i.o.u.'s 

Because the animal's back 

With the man intact 

They had a gun at my head 

And a knife at my back 

Don't wind me up too tight 

I've been had by the balls all my life 

I'm in no mood now 

To stop dead and talk it over 

I don't need no fire and brimstone warning 

I've been a long time punching bag 

I won't run no race where there ain't no prize 

Take a look at my face 

Can't you see this ain't no lies 

There's a hit storm a coming 

They're getting in for one free bite 

I was taken by surprise 

By the glint in the eyes of a sweet campaign 

Smelling strongly of lies 

You're the original Mr. Clean 

But the closeups make you look awful mean 

You're just a con man raving saying nothing new
