    It's A Long Long Way

    It's a long long way from here
    Don't you worry yourself my dear
    It's a long long way from here

    Drought and famine in TV land
    Read the sunday papers credit card ina your hand
    Sing your song of freedom just to ease your troubled mind
    And save your guilty pennies for the ones you leave behind

    The burden that you carry from the cradle to the grave
    Is like a badge of honour that you wear upon your sleeve
    You make your contribution and you shed a little tear
    And stage your celebration just to show how much you care

    You obscure your stolen power with hypocrisy and lies
    Your talk of understanding is a wafer thin disguise
    You glorify my image but deny me flesh and blood
    You radiate with goodness when you here me beg for food

    Those rivers of blood will flow again
    Someone changed the lyrics but the song remains the same
    You can build a wall of protocol to keep the wolves at bay
    But history dictates that someone has to pay

    It's a long long way from here
    Don't you worry yourself my dear
    It's a long long way from here
