Eyes On Fire - John Schumann[00:00:00]
Written by:John Schumann[00:00:06]
Out here on the western line where the carriages bump and sway[00:00:22]
And the aerials tag the skyline and the ragged children play[00:00:27]
I lined up every morning we were living from pay to pay[00:00:32]
Eyes on fire[00:00:36]
There are some things mister that I just don't understand[00:00:42]
How the job I've had for 20 years has just moved to Japan[00:00:46]
And I'm standing in a dole queue while my country's changing hands[00:00:51]
Eyes on fire[00:00:56]
Eyes on fire and in the firelight[00:01:01]
Yeah no one's taking anything more from here without a fight[00:01:11]
Eyes on fire[00:01:20]
My shoes are made in Poland I've got a pair from Singapore[00:01:25]
These gloves come in from Shanghai we don't make them anymore[00:01:30]
And there's all these kiwi shearers here I've never seen before[00:01:35]
Eyes on fire[00:01:40]
My radio comes from Taiwan my car's made in Korea[00:01:45]
My son was making car parts but they closed the plant last year[00:01:50]
It's not coming back the company made that very clear[00:01:55]
Eyes on fire[00:01:59]
Eyes on fire and in the firelight[00:02:04]
Yeah no one's taking anything more from here without a fight[00:02:14]
Eyes on fire[00:02:24]
So hold on darling it's a real rough ride[00:02:29]
We'll make it out of here to the other side[00:02:35]
And while the sun still shines and the birds still sing[00:02:38]
They can't take away important things from us[00:02:44]
Like faith[00:02:48]
Like faith[00:02:50]
And hope[00:02:51]
And hope[00:02:52]
And dignity[00:02:53]
And dignity[00:02:56]
And dignity[00:02:58]
And dignity[00:03:01]
And eyes on fire[00:03:03]
You can hear the changes coming like the rumbling of a storm[00:03:06]
And under southern skies I see the breaking of the dawn[00:03:11]
We didn't start the fighting but we won't run from the war[00:03:16]
Eyes on fire[00:03:20]
Eyes on fire and in the firelight[00:03:25]
Enough's enough no more ground[00:03:35]
Nothing more without a fight[00:03:38]
Eyes on fire[00:03:44]
It'll be all right[00:03:55]
It'll be all right[00:03:56]
It'll be all right any longer[00:03:57]
It'll be all right[00:03:59]
It'll be all right[00:04:01]
It'll be all right any longer[00:04:02]
It'll be all right[00:04:04]
It'll be all right[00:04:06]
It'll be all right any longer[00:04:07]
It'll be all right[00:04:09]
