Middle link
It's all the same in different hats
The proof of the missing link
A nation talking to its self
And none of us can think
Things were never what they used to be
A silent fool may still be wise
But there's no way you can tell
The captain more scarred than his crew
Is beautiful people to me
And the finest government you could buy
Its beautiful people I see
If you could give five to one against
It's good enough for me
Can't use two steps to cross a canyon
You're beautiful people to me
If you don't see the same trees I see
You're beautiful people to me
Make deserts bloom and oceans die
Just beautiful people to me
If you're lost and dying of civilisation
That's enough for me
If you believe your own blind eye
You're beautiful people to me
And you may miss what you never had
And have what you never want
I'm not too sure if the above is totally right. Any comments or suggestions would
be most welcome.
