Whale Beach Road

Can't see the sky through the haze Haven't seen the sun in days Smoke in my eyes Is this the way it's gonna be? I got a son now, I got a wife I got the features of the good life But I'm all shook up Like a bottle top floating on the sea Give me back my blue sky Give me some sunshine Give me a sign that there's still hope Someone shine a light through the smoke Give me back my blue sky Give me some sunshine Getting tired of living on death row Give me back the good life I knew One year ago One year ago One year ago One year ago On Whale Beach Road All I see around me now are white people With first world problems Look at all those white people But now we got a whole world problem Needs our attention We need to get together Leave the suburbs Take the bus into the centre Join the marches, hold the signs up Show them affluent dissenters Saying Give me some blue sky Give me some sunshine Give me a sign that there's still hope Or a big fat bag of dope Give me back my blue sky Give me some sunshine Getting tired of living on death row Give me back the good life I knew One year ago One year ago One year ago One year ago You can't wait till there's an election To push for a change of direction Before you open up your wallet take time for reflection And make a careful selection Money won't offer you reprieve When there's poison in the air you breathe Money won't protect you from the heat When the fire's coming down your street Give me back my blue sky Give me some sunshine Give me a sign that there's still hope Before people start hanging from a rope Give me back my blue sky Give me some sunshine Getting tired of living on death row Give me back the good life I knew One year ago One year ago One year ago One year ago On Whale Beach Road Give me back my blue sky Give me some sunshine One year ago
