Midnight Oil - Used and Abused Lyrics

I was taken downtown for my part in the demonstration
I was used and abused with the light in my eye at the station
I said
No noYou got the wrong man
No noDon't pick on me again
No noI'm going home to my
Family and friends

I'm too busy making a living to make any money
And the living ain't easy and the money disappears in a hurry, now
I said
No noI should,ve stayed at school
No noThey're treating me so cruel
No noI'm breaking all the rules
Breaking all the rules

No no

I was talking to the man he said we're gonna make a deal
I was fooled into thinking the paper in my pocket was real
I said
No noYou've been taken again
No noYou're losing all your friends
No noIt's just a matter of sense
It's just a matter of sense

(Hirst/Moginie)
