Lyrics
:
Too young to care too old to fight Ain't bothered about your life Drop out far out don't go to school Get out while the goings good Sign up for the dole dig a hole For your bone and moan ain't got any cash Hedonistic man with your can And your head of sand Take the lie of the land LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE And never let the fires die Take the LIE OF THE LAND Today don't wait don't hesitate Get out there join a march Join hands make plans and take a chance On the right hand side of the road Avoid the gang of the man named Vicious Henry And his friend called Billy Whizz Don't stay in the dark where the sharks Will rip you off they're gonna tear you apart LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE And never let the fires die Take the LIE OF THE LAND. We aint lying No no no And at home you're alone you're the people That your parents warned you about All your walls are adomed with protest And you always quote the facts LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES ALIVE And never let the fires die LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES ALIVE And never let the fires die Take the LIE OF THE LAND Take the LIE OF THE LAND I want to believe_______ Take the LIE OF THE LAND
