Hoodoo Gurus - Middle Of The Land lyrics

Here I stand in the middle of the land Take my hand in the middle of the land You'll see something that's new in the sunshine You'll be the winter that's turning to springtime Here I stand in the middle of the land Take my hand in the middle of the land Someday someone will try to confuse you They'll say things you want to hear and they'll use you I thought we'd live and learn But some folks seem to yearn For values unsophisticated Those days are dead and gone I won't wish them back upon A world that's much more complicated Here I stand in the middle of my ... Take my hand, I'm always glad to lend a hand They'll try to blind you with T.V. religion Don't buy their hand-me-down second - opinions Sometimes the biggest lies Are most easily disguised Dressed up like the Road To Glory Then somewhere down the line You'll rub your eyes and find You're on a path to your own Purgatory You'll know something as old as the moonlight You'll throw superstition and fear away tonight They'll paint us black and white They'll paint us wrong and right They'll paint us all into a corner They'll try to cool us down But they could never fool us now We're steamed-up hotter than a Swedish Sauna! Here I stand in the middle of the land Take my, take my hand - your horizons will expand Land - in the middle, middle of the land (Land on me.)
