It's a long long way from here

Don't you worry yourself my dear

It's a long long way from here



Drought and famine in TV land

Read the sunday papers credit card ina your hand

Sing your song of freedom just to ease your troubled mind

And save your guilty pennies for the ones you leave behind



The burden that you carry from the cradle to the grave

Is like a badge of honour that you wear upon your sleeve

You make your contribution and you shed a little tear

And stage your celebration just to show how much you care



You obscure your stolen power with hypocrisy and lies

Your talk of understanding is a wafer thin disguise

You glorify my image but deny me flesh and blood

You radiate with goodness when you here me beg for food



Those rivers of blood will flow again

Someone changed the lyrics but the song remains the same

You can build a wall of protocol to keep the wolves at bay

But history dictates that someone has to pay



Chorus



It's a long long way from here

Don't you worry yourself my dear

It's a long long way from here
