The Longest Night - Men At Work

Wind is in the east

Stare at us eyes in wonder

Like beggars at a feast

We can’t even, count the number

What you gonna do?

Send them table scraps we’re leaving

One who care are few

Most spend there time, with useless meaning

Dear father,

Do you think that it will be alright?

Tell me mother,

Will we make it through?

We make it through the hungry night.

Somewhere in the west

Gold teeth, but sometime is gleaming

We know we are the best

Even know, the beasts lie screaming

We’ve got power to spare

A new clear day

Is dawning they say

But tell us, don’t you dare

The piper has a price that we pay

Dear preacher,

Do you think that we’ll see the light?

Tell me teacher,

Well we make it through?

We make it through the darkest night.

Two faces in the south

The first one has a look of 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,

You think we’ll have to stand and fight?

Tell me sister, Will we make it through?

We 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.
