Lyrics Midnight Oil

Midnight Oil

Used and Abused

I was taken downtown for my part in the demonstration

I was used and abused with the light in my eye at the station

I said

No no you got the wrong man

No no don't pick on me again

No no I'm going home to my family and friends

I'm too busy making a living to make any money

And the living ain't easy and the money disappears in a hurry, now

I said

No no I should've stayed at school

No no they're treating me so cruel

No no I'm breaking all the rules

Breaking all the rules

No no

I was talking to the man he said were gonna make a deal

I was fooled into thinking the paper in my pocket was real

I said

No no you've been taken again

No no you're losing all your friends

No no it's just a matter of sense

It's just a matter of sense
