The Cat Empire - East lyrics

I see the summer in a little green leaf now One million trees now their swords unsheathed now Little children been inside for weeks now Running out water fighting in the streets now I always lived for that summertime day How to be sure good weather coming your way How to be sure you leave behind clouds of grey We head east, up to Byron Bay Up to Byron Bay.... Take a bus if you must or just drive you'll Head straight in to the sea on arrival Deserted beaches for me soul survival In the East I find me gods much greater than the bible And now I sit by this creek while I rest I think lucky me because this East is still the West I got food I got water I got peace I am blessed I got no bombs fallin on me chest Fallin on me chest I'm reminded as I sit by this creek now Camel in the desert bone dry for a week now The scene of learning on Earth this ancient land now Ancient libraries buried in the sand now Now everybody jump up, jump up and down now The leaders of this country they are wearing the crowns Represent the people of the country and the towns So people shout out for compa**ion or this ship is going down And in the East I see fun I see sun But in another East I hear bombs I hear guns Some good people they run run run And we put them in a cage, let them burn in the sun We just let them burn in the sun What's to be done? We just let them burn in the sun We so lucky why not share it around now? We so lucky why not share it around now? We so lucky why not share it around now? We so lucky why not share it around now?
