Andy Poole - Landfall lyrics

"People don't understand," That is what you say to yourselves As you nibble away At our rights, our freedoms Spending far too long in the dark All alone With your mandate for power For ruling, such as it is It's enough for ruin All we have is unreal Nothing so unwritten is safe Insecurity and power Is a force to be feared Seems it's an impossible thing To be open And cover your backs From those who put you there In the place that is your home To scorn our deepest fears And take it on themselves To take it all and do it in our names This land is so afraid For in the fading light This land, in time may fall Plant some reality here Here into the front of my home If they take you apart Have to fight for yourselves Funny how it's always the same It don't matter who's holding The key to the garden The limit of my understanding is reached Ten years on from the day they broke down the line Red man Arthur was proved right all along Loose your big train of thought Take it to a wall with some writing: "question authority" And then it says "why?" What we have to say to ourselves As we marvel at all of the facts And the figures at the fingertips Of the men in power
