Midnight Oil - Minutes To Midnight lyrics

Everybody say god is a good man Ah, clock on the world Driving a dump truck up to the sun A sigh in the human heart I look at the clock on the wall It says three minutes to midnight Faith is blind when we're so near Phar lap floating in a jar Seas full of submarines, a.w.a.c.'s like flies Truth gets harder to define Talking in tongues But the dancer's hand grips the rail And fingers will blister on the 88's Hope drains out of the side of the page But ear's can't hear What eyes don't see And you can't see me Everybody say god is a good man Everybody say 1,2,3 Set up those gunsights in h.g. wells backyard I.c.b.m's, s.s.20's they lie so dormant they got so many Remember your childhood Remember the journey Hope is what you say and do (moginie/garrett)
