Midnight Oil

Everybody say God is a good man
(Minutes to midnight)
Everybody say God is a good man
(God is a good man)
Ah, clock on the world
(Yes, he's a good man)
Riding a dump truck up to the sun
(Is he a slow man?)
A sigh in the human heart

I look at the clock on the wall
It says three minutes to midnight
Faith is blind when we're so near
Phar Lap floating in a jar
Seas full of submarines, A.W.A.C.'s like flies
(Minutes to midnight)
Truth gets harder to define
Talking in - talking in tongues
But the dancer's hand grips the rail
Fingers will blister on the 88's
And hope drains out of the side of the page

But ears can't hear
What eyes don't see
And you can't see me

Everybody say God is a good man
(Minutes to midnight)
Everybody goes 1,2,3
Set up those gunsights in H.G. Wells' backyard
(God is a good man)
I.C.B.M's, S.S.20's they lie so dormant they got so many
Remember your childhood
Remember the journey
Hope is what you say and do
But ears don't hear
What eyes can't see
You can't see me!

But ears can't hear
What those eyes don't see
But ears can't hear
What those eyes don't see
And you can't see me!

(Moginie/Garrett)
