On the Wire

Lyrics
[Verse one: Kev Carmody] He came back from the city I say "cus' where ya bin?" He says "Brother I been livin' on the wire Lived down in that gutter where the fittest survive I ploughed through them fields of fire Had a needle in a vein, that profited the sane Had a friend with no name who was a liar Saw the white walls of freedom, never found the black door Saw the Devil sing with the Angels in a choir….Sisters… [Chorus: Tiddas] We'll take you home to the land we know Give you that peace of the evening Give you that moon with the wind on your face The rains and the change of each season [Verse two: Kev Carmody] I saw people who were trapped Under the whip of fat cats Saw people there devoid of their Dreaming Deep down inside there with so much to hide Brother you could see in their eyes there's no meaning So take me my sisters and welcome me home So I never again walk alone Our spirit demands that we die in this land And I know now my spirit's come home….Sisters… [Chorus: Tiddas] We'll take you home to the land we know Give you that peace of the evening Give you that moon with the wind on your face The rains and the change of each season [Verse three: Kev Carmody] I says, 'Brother what you see in this land of "Progress"?' He says, 'I never felt them four winds a blowin' Lived with people in chains, the wounded and lame Heard Messiahs who spoke without knowin' And them seven seas rose and the desert lands froze Each individual there was trapped in a prison And my spirit cried out, to know what it's about, brother Their basis had no rhyme or no reason….Sisters… [Chorus: Tiddas] We'll take you home to the land we know Give you that peace of the evening Give you that moon with the wind on your face The rains and the change of each season We'll take you home to the land we know Give you that peace of the evening Give you that moon with the wind on your face The rains and the change of each season We'll take you home to the land we know Give you that peace of the evening Give you that moon with the wind on your face The rains and the change of each season
