Not The Midnight Ma** - Eh Bah Ran lyrics

Eh bahran Eh bah reh nan Rani eh bahran Eh bahran Eh bah reh nan Rani eh bahran There on the dust land The sun burning parched arid land Famine and warfare And ma**es that moved Fires that raged In the sky back and forth, forth and back Fires that raged in the skies of men's hearts Ragged and torn Over fences and fields they come To where they've been told There'll be streets paved in gold High on the dumps In their dumps looking down on us Home fires that burn and a faint acrid hue Can you see the broken ones are bent and doubled Ones are ones who drag their lives Beneath the grey and shifting skies Can you hear the hungry ones are bent and haggard Ones are clutching grabbing Ones whose numbered days are flashing by Cities had vanished and rivers had coursed different routes Flooding the marshlands and silting the sea People had said there was food to be had in the south Many had crept there and some had survived Many had fled from the war on the eastern front To bright lights that shone in the cold Highveld sky Living in holes in the ground roofed with tin and wood On the white cyanide dumps where the earth had spewed gold Supermarkets out of food Nowhere to buy the goods The homesteads double burglar-proofed and wired Someone on the early news The flash and flicker news The spurt and stammer news announce The president retired Eh bahran Eh bah reh nan Rani eh bahran
