Men At Work

The Wind is in the east
They stare at us with eyes of wonder
Like beggars at a feast
We can't even, count the number
What you gonna do?
Send them table scraps and leavings?
The Ones who care are few
Spend they're time in useless meetings

Dear father,
Do you think that it'll be alright?
Tell me mother,
Will we make it through?
Make it through the hungry night.

Summer in the west
Gold teeth and suntans gleaming
We know we are the best
Even though the beasts lie screaming
We've got power to spare
A nuclear day
Is dawning they say
Tell us, don't you dare
The piper has a price that we pay

Dear preacher,
Do you think that we will see the light?
Tell me teacher,
Will we make it through?
Make it through the darkest night.

Two faces in the south
One has ? ugly ?
With fine words in his mouth
His heart is black,
As ghetto chimneys

What you gonna do?
To hide the shame,
Contain their anger.
What you gonna say?
You walk the line of constant danger

Dear brother,
Do You think we'll have to stand and fight?
Tell me sister, Will we make it through?
Make it through the longest night.

Dear father,
Do you think it's gonna be alright?
Tell me teacher,
Do you think that we'll see the light?
Tell me brother,
You think we'll have to stand and fight?
Tell me sister,
Will we make it through?
Make it through the longest night.
