Native Land

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Stone the crows if you've done it again If I've told you once, told you a thousand times Sometimes I am so convinced That we're casting pearl amongst the swine [Chorus] Don't ever let me hear you say This is the life we folks must lead We shun the limelight, shun the glare And the circus built on a bigot's creed Don't ever let me hear you say This is the life we folks must lead We shun the limelight, shun the glare And the circus built on a bigot's creed [Verse 2] Heaven is a place I've heard But we haven't been there yet, I fear We may have opened pearly gates But sometimes hell stills steals in here [Chorus] Don't ever let me hear you say This is the life we folks must lead Do you think silver turns our locks? What gold do you think paves our streets? [Verse 3] You say we're in a different world now Where money and love go hand in hand But can't you see we share this town So why should we fight on our native land? [Chorus] Don't ever let me hear you say This is the life we folks must lead We shun the limelight, shun the glare And the circus built on a bigot's creed Don't ever let me hear you say This is the life we folks must lead Do you think silver turns our locks? What gold do you think paves our streets? [Outro] Can't you see we share this town So why on earth should we tear it down? Can't you see we share this town So why on earth must we tear it down? Tear it down Tear it down Tear it
