Midnight Oil - Now Or Never Land

I grew tall in this lucky land
And I thank God for that, but there`s needles in the sand
Ozone in the eucalypt and on the Steppes tonight
There`s pushing and a shoving on the throne tonight

It`s a rhythm of the sea
Lost islands of hope
It`s a rhythm of the sea
Who will discover you

But I won`t be down at heel cos my senses lead me here
Dream a South-Pacific dream of now or never land
It`s now or never land

Rises in rivers in power of the sun
Rises in sea level, look out Mammon`s bastard son
Infidels are praying at the stock exchange
Chrome camels are crashing on the smooth terrain

It`s the rhythm of the sea
Lost islands of hope
It`s the rhythm of the sea
Someone to carry you

But I won`t be down at heel cos my senses lead me here
Dream a South-Pacific dream of now or never land
Suitcase full of good ideas, history that`s filled with tears
Kill nostalgia, xenophobic fears
It`s now or never land

Chant to end

(Moginie/Garrett)
