Lyrics
People, wasting away in paradise Going backwards, once in a while Takin' your time, give it a try What do you believe, what do you believe What do you believe is true And nothing they say makes a difference this way Nothing they say will do
You take all the trouble that you can afford At least you won't have time to be bored x2
Oh the power and the passion, oh the temper of the time Oh the power and the passion Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line
Sunburned faces around, with skin so brown Smiling, zinc cream and crowds, sundays the beach never a cloud Breathing eucalypt, pushing panel vans Stuff and munch junk food Laughing at the truth, cos gough was tough til he hit the rough Hey uncle sam and john were quite enough
Too much of sunshine too much of sky It's just enough to make you wanna cry
Oh the power..
I see buildings, clothing the sky, in paradise Sydney, nights are warm Daytime telly, blue rinse dawn And dad's so bad he lives in the pub, it's a underarms and football club A flat chat pine gap, in every home a big mac And no one goes outback, that's that You take what you get and get what you please It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees x2
Oh the power..
