Midnight Oil - My Country lyrics

Was it just a dream, were you so confused Was it just a giant leap of logic Was it the time of year, that makes a state of fear Methods were the motives for the action And did I hear you say My country right or wrong Did you save your face Did you breach your faith Women, there were children at the shelter Now who can stop the hail When human senses fail There was never any warning, no escape Did I hear you say My country right or wrong My country oh so strong My country going wrong My country right or wrong I hear you say the truth must take a beating The flag a camouflage for your deceiving I know, yes I know It's written on your soul I know, we all make mistakes This is not a case of blurred vision It's a case of black holes, pocket holes, soul holes And did I hear you say... (Hirst)
