Midnight Oil - Forgotten Years Lyrics

Send "Forgotten Years" ringtones to your cell

Few of the sins of the father, are visited upon the son 
Hearts have been hard, our hands have been clenched in a fist too long 
Our sons will never be soldiers, our daughters will never need guns 
These are the yrs between 
These are the yrs that were hard fought and won 
Contracts torn at the edges, old signatures stained with tears 
Seasons of war and grace, these should not be forgotten years
Still it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politics 
How many dreams remain? This is a feeling too strong to contain 

The hardest years, the darkest yrs, the roarin' yrs, the fallen yrs 
These should not be forgotten yrs 
The hardest yrs, the wildest yrs, the desperate and divided yrs 
We will remember, these should not be forgotten yrs 

Our shoreline was never invaded, our country was never in flames 
This is the calm we breathe, this is a feeling too strong to contain 
Still it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politics 
Signatures stained with tears, who can remember 
We've got to remember 

The hardest yrs, the darkest yrs.. 
Forsaking aching breaking yrs, the time and tested heartbreak yrs 
These should not be forgotten yrs 
The blinded yrs, the binded yrs, the desperate and divided yrs 
These should not be forgotten yrs, remember
