Midnight Oil - To the Ends of the Earth Lyrics

People of the world, rise up
We have been unconscious for too long
Every creature drinks from the same cup
Makes you want to dance and praise with song
Now joy is coming, so confess
You are filled with joy and thankfulness

We
We wake in a dream
Staring at screens
Choose apathy

Yeah, to the ends of the earth
Find out what it is worth
To the ends of the earth
Yeah, to the ends of the earth
Find out just what it's worth
To the ends of the earth

Canaries in a fossil fuel gumbo
450 parts per million co2
Industry can't give you a clean bill of health
Politics has sold its soul by stealth

We
We crisscross the land
Hiding behind walls that feign empathy
But we, we seek a new creed
Something to believe
Something to see

Yeah, to the ends of the earth
Find out what it is worth
To the ends of the earth
Yeah, keep on coming now
Yeah, to the ends of the earth
Find out just what it's worth
To the ends of the earth

People keep on coming now
Yeah, to the ends of the earth
You can do the research
To the ends of the earth

Because every creature drinks from the same cup
'Cause every creature drinks from the same cup
Every creature, every creature
Every creature drinks from the same
Every creature, every creature
