Midnight Oil "Song a Day" #12 "Best of Both Worlds"



"Best if Both Worlds"
You say times are tough
We've got the best of both worlds here
Things are rough
We've got the best of both worlds here
Times are tough
We've got the best of both worlds

The real world is not as calm as it appears to be from here
The old world is not as safe with the new world closing in
The great south land can be as great as the one it could have been
The one it could have been

The real world is not as calm as it appears to be from here
The small world is not as strong and the testing ground is near
The old world is not as strong as the one we could have seen
The great south land can be as great as the one it could have been
The one it could have been
We've got the best of both worlds...

Ringtone, email tagline quote, absolutely one of my fav. all time Oils tracks...
"the real world is not as calm as it appears to be from here"

It's got that hopeful sense of calling for us to be better, to notice, to care and to recognise some are doing it tough...
