Song	Who Can Stand In The Way - Remastered Version
Artist	Midnight Oil
Album	Red Sails In The Sunset

	作词 : Garrett, Moginie
	Well oh well i feel i'm in decay
	John laws is on the air again
	It's heavy traffic, jacarandas, eye in the sky and foot on ground
	I see a million sand speck'd ants in mortal combat hand to hand
	And i feel that i
	Yes i feel that i
	Seem to live this life long distance
	Gaze at the things surround me
	People rolling in and out
	Those circles and tides confound me
	And there's just one thing
	Yes there's just one thing
	Who can stand in the way
	When there's a dollar to be made?
	I was hanging round off dobroyd point
	When the first fleet chain sailed in
	Looked into the clearest blue
	The scurvy smell, the convicts cry
	And we just carried on,
	Yes we just carried on
	Now choppers strafe the supermarket sky
	And people wonder why
	Chopping down tons of trees
	Got seas of print not a soul can read say
	Why do i drown you build brick boxes
	One by one now they block my sun
	But it's metal on metal
	It's the dance of tv
	If christ were here he'd camera check
	He'd cry so loud the planes would stop
	He'd cry so loud the earth would shake
	And men would fall in tinsel town
	There's just one thing
	Yes there's just one thing...
	Who can stand in the way
	When there's a dollar to be made?
	Precious moments, precious few
	When that dollar's more than me and you
	It's the joy of forgetting,
	Such a joy to forget
	But we killed all our firstborn
	And we slashed and we burned
	And we sold off the paddocks
	And we raped and we gouged
	On the wings of a six-pack
	Will we ever learn?
	(moginie/garrett)
