Midnight Oil, "US Forces" from 1982.


U.S. forces give the nod

It’s a setback for your country

Bombs and trenches all in rows

Bombs and threats still ask for more

Divided world the CIA

Who controls the issue

You leave us with no time to talk

You can write your own assessment

Sing me songs of no denying

Seems to me too many trying

Waiting for the next big thing

Will you know it when you see it

High risk children dogs of war

Now market movements call the shots

Business deals in parking lots

Waiting for the meat of tomorrow

Sing me songs of no denying

Seems to me too many trying

Waiting for the next big thing

Everyone is too stoned to start emission

People too scared to go to prison

We’re unable to make decisions

Political party line don’t cross that floor

L. Ron Hubbard can’t save your life

Superboy takes a plutonium wife

In the shadows of Ban the Bomb we live

Sing me songs of no denying

Seems to me too many trying

Waiting for the next big thing
