Underneath this surface exists
A man with no strength to resist
Lips are sealed unable to speak
If you don't take these chains off me
I hesitate too scared to believe
Disregard the way I feel
The time has come for you to decide
Naked respect without denial
Humiliation
I don't understand myself
Humiliation
I don't recognise myself anymore
How could I forgive and forget
When you ignore and you regret
Silent words, full of despise
There's no return, some things must die(CHORUS)
It's a long long way from here
Don't you worry yourself my dear
It's a long long way from here
Drought and famine in TV land
Read the sunday papers credit card ina your hand
Sing your song of freedom just to ease your troubled mind
And save your guilty pennies for the ones you leave behind
The burden that you carry from the cradle to the grave
Is like a badge of honour that you wear upon your sleeve
You make your contribution and you shed a little tear
And stage your celebration just to show how much you care
You obscure your stolen power with hypocrisy and lies
Your talk of understanding is a wafer thin disguise
You glorify my image but deny me flesh and blood
You radiate with goodness when you here me beg for food
Those rivers of blood will flow again
Someone changed the lyrics but the song remains the same
You can build a wall of protocol to keep the wolves at bay
But history dictates that someone has to pay
(CHORUS)
It's a long long way from here
Don't you worry yourself my dear
It's a long long way from here
