My Country
Midnight Oil
Letra

Was it just a dream?
Were you so confused?
Was it just a giant leap of logic?
Was it the time of year
that makes a state of fear?
Methods, were their motives for the action?

And did I hear you say
My country, right or wrong!
My country, right or wrong!
My country, right or wrong!

Did you save your face?
Did you breach your faith?
Women, there were children at the shelter
Now who can stop the hail
when human senses fail
There was never any warning, no escape

And did I hear you say
My country, right or wrong!
My country, oh, so strong!
My country, right or wrong!
My country, right or wrong!
My country's going wrong!
My country, right or wrong!

I hear you say the truth must take a beating
The flag, a camouflage for your deceiving
'Cause I know, I know, it's written on your soul
I know, we all make mistakes

This is not a case of blurred vision
It's a case of black holes, pocket holes, soul holes!

And did I hear you say
My country, right or wrong!
My country, oh, so strong!
My country, right or wrong!

(Think about it! You talk about it!)
My country, right or wrong!
My country's going wrong!
My country, right or wrong!

My country!
My country!
My country!
