Midnight Oil

Midnight Oil (also known informally as "The Oils" to fans), were an Australian alternative rock band from Sydney originally performing as Farm from 1972 with drummer Rob Hirst, bass guitarist Andrew James and keyboard player/lead guitarist Jim Moginie. While vocalist Peter Garrett was studying at Australian National University in Canberra, he answered an advertisement for a spot in Farm, and by 1975 the band was touring the east coast. By late 1976, Garrett moved to Sydney to complete his law degree, and Farm changed its name to Midnight Oil by drawing the name out of a hat. more »

Every child put down your toys
And come inside to sleep
We have to look you in the eye and say we sold you cheap
Let's confess we did not act
With serious urgency
So open up the floodgates
To the rising seas

Temperature rising
Climate denying
Fever is gripping
Nobody's listening
Luster is fading
'Cause nobody's trading
Wall Street is jumping
Still the music keeps pumping

If you can't decide
Between wrong and right
If you can't see through
All that you hold true

Queen of the firmament
Lord of all beneath
Masters of the universe
We're all refugees
And in many countries they adore celebrity
Open up the floodgates
To the rising seas

Dinosaur stories
Reliving past glories
Lusting for gold
F-f-fishing for souls
They said it was coming
We knew it was a-coming

If you lift your game
Put your toys away
Well it looks like rain
On that western plain

Queen of the firmament
Lord of all beneath
Masters of the universe
We're all refugees
And in many countries they adore celebrities
Open up the floodgates
To the rising seas
To the rising seas
To the rising seas
