Common Ground Lyrics by Midnight Oil

Common Ground Lyrics

    These are not dispassionate words of the cool
    The headline still rules the editor’s a fool
    Shall we douse out the flames or will everybody fuse
    And leave us stranded here tomorrow
    I heard a calling out, a cry from the heart
    From the towns of cement and the beauty
    A whisper its turned howl, man he didn’t know
    He was standing waiting for tomorrow

    Nothing’s left, nothing’s found, there must be some common ground

    I could never figure the calendars flow
    Nor can i work out how the wild, wild wind blows
    But we’re ready from within and we’re starting to go
    Away from the place of no tomorrow

    Nothing’s left, nothing’s found, there must be some common ground
    Nothing’s left, (???) i see there must be some common ground

    Oh the wrecking fields are a terrible place
    With a sulphurous smell and a frightening pace
    And the hook goes early and the critic is king
    It’s hard to stay human and stand in the ring

    There’s no time to be absent, a clown or a fool
    While shylock is smiling we’re loaded like mules
    If we surrender ourself to industrial rules
    We’ll wake up in the wreckage of tomorrow
    Now

    Nothing’s left, nothing’s found, there must be some common ground
    Nothing’s left, something’s found, can we see some common ground
