MIDNIGHT OIL - Used and Abused lyrics

rate me

I was taken downtown for my part in the demonstration

I was used and abused with the light in my eye at the station

I said

No no You got the wrong man

No no Don't pick on me again

No no I'm going home to my

Family and friends

I'm too busy making a living to make any money

And the living ain't easy and the money disappears in a hurry, now

I said

No no I should,ve stayed at school

No no They're treating me so cruel

No no I'm breaking all the rules

Breaking all the rules

No no

I was talking to the man he said we're gonna make a deal

I was fooled into thinking the paper in my pocket was real

I said

No no You've been taken again

No no You're losing all your friends

No no It's just a matter of sense

It's just a matter of sense

(Hirst/Moginie)
