Around the strangers moved, the shouts I felt within New panoramas seen (I loved it as it was) Forests of pylons built, the scaffolding is raised And how the men pursue their work They act convinced of freedom Crossed over by the bridge The brook was running ill We recognised the place - places we knew as children We wept upon the sight and progress tore our hearts Fences divide the land, homes boxed like rabbit hutches Goodbye to the village Goodbye to the village Where soil will not provide, no king and land are one Monopolize the holy ground, all that we hold as sacred No harvest moon shall rise, no valley homestead seen And now the cities never end, and how the cities stretch forever And in the morning promise me great times will come again And the homelands in our hearts will never fade away Let the legends promise me the earth shall rise again And homelands in the hearts of men shall never fade away Goodbye to the village Goodbye to the village Goodbye to the village Goodbye to the village I'll never never see my home I'll never never see my home You'll never never see your home You'll never never see your home

The atmospheres range Out on the town Music for pleasure It's not music no more Music to dance to Music to move This is music to march to To dance The war dance The war dance The war dance The war dance Look at the victim Sprawled on the wall You know the the reason Outside the door You got something Nasty in your mind Wanting to get out To dance The war dance The war dance The war dance The war dance We (Walk on the pinch?) Honesty is sick Sure to be honest Look what you did today The food runs short Another man he talks One way out Will issue his command The war dance The war dance The war dance The war dance Oh, the war dance Oh, the war dance Oh, the war dance Oh, the war dance
