Written In The Heart lyrics

Artist  : Midnight Oil 
Song : Written In The Heart
 


The God forsaken rifleman stands rigid at the
bar
The kids discover victims in the rubble
and the tar
They're married to ambition to the
slogans of the war
Slogans that used to be
scrawled on the wall
Are written in the
heart

A woman bows to Mecca and she
struggles to her feet
It's better since the
president took shooting off the street
She
pictures all the poverty the cursed Holy
War
The pictures that used to be scrawled on
the wall
Are written in the heart

The
elders make a promise and they forge it in the
fire
The general's car is sabotaged, four
bullets in the tire
With the burning of the
words there goes the scorching of the
earth
The words that used to be scrawled on
the wall
Are written in the
heart

(Hirst/Moginie/Rotsey)
