Midnight Oil


SOMETIMES



I know that the sunset empire shudders and shakes
And I know there's a floodgate and a raging river
I say see the silence of the ribbons of iron and steel
And I say hear the punch drunk huddle as they drive
On a hammer and wheel

Sometimes you're beaten to the call
Sometimes
Sometimes you're taken to the wall
But you don't give in
Sometimes you're beaten to the call
Sometimes
Sometimes you're taken to the wall
But you don't give in
Oh no

I know that the cannibals wear smart suits and ties
I know they arm wrestle on the altar
And I say don't leave your heart in a hard place

Sometimes you're beaten to the call
Sometimes
Sometimes you're taken to the wall

Sometimes you're beaten to the call
Sometimes
Sometimes you're taken to the wall
But you don't give in

Sometimes you're beaten to the call
Sometimes
Sometimes you're taken to the wall

Sometimes you're shaken to the core
Sometimes
Sometimes the face is gonna fall
But you never

Sometimes you're beaten to the call
Sometimes
Sometimes you're taken to the wall
But you don't give in.
