Midnight Oil - Read About It lyrics

The rich get richer, the poor get the picture The bombs never hit you when you're down so low Some got pollution, some revolution There must be some solution but i just don't know The bosses want decisions, the workers need ambitions There won't be no collisions when they move so slow Nothing ever happens, nothing really matters No one ever tells me so what am i to know You wouldn't read about it, read about it Just another incredible scene, there's no doubt about it Hammer and the sickle, the news is at a trickle The commissars are fickle but the stockpile grows Bombers keep acoming, engines softly humming The stars and stripes are running for their own big show Another little flare up, storm brewed in a tea cup Imagine any mix up and the lot would go Nothing ever happens... You wouldn't read about it, read about it One unjust ridiculous steal, ain't no doubt about it You wouldn't read about it, read about it Just another particular deal, there's no doubt about it (hirst/moginie/garrett)
