lyrics

FAR AWAY UNDER THE SUN
ON A LAND THAT STANDS SURROUNDED BY OCEAN
INHABIT PEOPLE SEPARATED IN TWO
AND THE HALF THEY GOT WASN’T THEIRS TO CHOOSE

SOME HAVE A PROMISING FUTURE AHEAD
FOOD ON THEIR TABLE A ROOF AND A BE
WHILE THE OTHER HALF ARE LEFT TO BE RAISED ON THEIR OWN

WAKING UP TO THE SOUND OF GUNS
FALLING ASLEEP TO THE SOUND OF EXPLOSIONS
HOPING THIS MISERY WON’T LAST
WAKING UP TO DUSTY RUINS
FALLING ASLEEP TO ACHING WOUNDS
HOPING THIS DAY WILL BE YOUR LAST

FAR AWAY UNDER THE SUN
ON AN ISLAND SOAKED IN CONTRADICTION
FROM A COAST WITH BIG RESORTS
PRIVATE BEACHES AND TENNIS COURT

TO A COAST WITH JUST ABOUT NOTHING AT ALL
GOOD LOVING PEOPLE HELD AGAINST THE WAL
BY THEIR OWN REGIME OF BACKSTABBING BULLIES AND WRECKLESS REBELS

WAKING UP TO THE SOUND OF GUNS
FALLING ASLEEP TO THE SOUND OF EXPLOSIONS
HOPING THIS MISERY WON’T LAST
WAKING UP TO DUSTY RUINS
FALLING ASLEEP TO ACHING WOUNDS
HOPING THIS DAY WILL BE YOUR LAST

WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE PEACE IS COMING ‘ROUND
WHEN IT FEELS ABOUT TO BE SAFE AND SOUN
EVERYTHING IS SHAKEN DOWN - DOWN TO THE GROUND
NOTHING TO DO OR TO UNDERSTAND
NO LUCK NO CHANCE NO HELPING HANDS
WHEN YOU’RE BORN ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ISLAND

WAKING UP TO THE SOUND OF GUNS
FALLING ASLEEP TO THE SOUND OF EXPLOSIONS
HOPING THIS MISERY WON’T LAST
WAKING UP TO DUSTY RUINS
FALLING ASLEEP TO ACHING WOUNDS
HOPING THIS DAY WILL BE YOUR LAST

WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE PEACE IS COMING ‘ROUND
WHEN IT FEELS ABOUT TO BE SAFE AND SOUN
EVERYTHING IS SHAKEN DOWN - DOWN TO THE GROUND
NOTHING TO DO OR TO UNDERSTAND
NO LUCK NO CHANCE NO HELPING HANDS
WHEN YOU’RE BORN ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ISLAND
