They come they take It’s never enough because they can’t relate To the real world Thinking that the oyster is just for the pearl They start those wars They want to own the land sea and all the stars And right those wrongs They change their history with their poison forked tongues.

All right, who’s they? A: Maybe it’s the government of today Or B: for the big business man who thinks the whole world revolves around him Or C: for the corrupt official for A and B he be the man in the middle Or D: for discoverer for Cook and Columbus and the pirate plunderers. Doesn’t mean I ain’t got no fight now just because I don’t got a gun The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon Just like Martin and Mahatma I’m gonna love I’m gonna over come Maybe its E: for all of the above but I don’t want to be…

Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going on a one-way road Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

These men who they say we should follow BUT we can’t follow men if their hearts are hollow and Mmmm yes how can we respect puppet regimes we do not elect? Straight up straight up like Pinocchio and every time they lie man the fire just grows so Now’s time to be part of the solution raise your fist if you believe in revolution

Doesn’t mean I ain’t got no fight now just because I don’t got a gun The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon Just like Martin and Mahatma I’m gonna love I’m gonna over come Maybe its E for all of the above but I don’t want to be….

Living in a pantomime living in a fantasy I don’t want to be don’t want to be I don’t want to be don’t want to be no Living in a pantomime living in a fantasy I don’t want to be don’t want to be I don’t want to be don’t want to be…

Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going down the one-way road Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up Wrong way going down the one-way road wrong way going on a one-way road Wrong way going down the one-way road gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

The meaning of the song

The song means that Australia should stop going to war. John is blaming the government. We think the John is using his music to try and change things.
