Forgotten Years Lyrics by Midnight Oil

Forgotten Years Lyrics

    Few of the sins of the father, are visited upon the son
    Hearts have been hard, our hands have been clenched in a fist too long
    Our sons will never be soldiers, our daughters will never need guns
    These are the yrs between
    These are the yrs that were hard fought and won
    Contracts torn at the edges, old signatures stained with tears
    Seasons of war and peace, these should not be forgotten yaers
    Still it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politics
    How many dreams remain? this is a feeling too strong to contain

    The hardest years, the darkest yrs, the roarin' yrs, the fallen yrs
    These should not be forgotten yrs
    The hardest yrs, the wildest yrs, the desperate and divided yrs
    We will remember, these should not be forgotten yrs

    Our shoreline was never invaded, our country was never in flames
    This is the calm we breathe, this is a feeling too strong to contain
    Still it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politics
    Signatures stained with tears, who can remember
    We've got to remember

    The hardest...
    Forsaking aching breaking yrs, the time and tested heartbreak yrs
    These should not be forgotten yrs
    The blinded yrs, the binded yrs, the desperate and divided yrs
    These should not be forgotten yrs, remember

    (hirst/moginie)
