Lyrics Midnight Oil

Midnight Oil

Hercules

My life is a valuable thing

I want to keep it that way

I won't cry

My life's such a valuable thing

Some things don't fade away

I don't mind

We give the best we can give

We won't forget we can't forgive

Keep us radioactive free

Strike a bell in Hiroshima park

You know that we can't see in the dark

We try & try & we try...

Who waits for the planes to come

When everybody's got you on the run

South Pacific carry on

It seems to me that what we're saying

Nobody wants to talk about

This is no time to be wondering why

I do the best I can do

The human jungle and the global zoo

I'll find my way it's a very special world

Why wait for the planes to come

When everybody's got us on the run

South Pacific carry on

Here comes the Hercules

Her comes the submarines

Sinking South Pacific dreams
