Joel Plaskett - Frontlines of the Hard Times lyrics
[Joel Plaskett - Frontlines of the Hard Times lyrics]
Leave the wallets and the purses
And the economic crisis
While we sing a couple verses
Through electronic devices
For the doctors and the nurses
At the frontlines of the hard times
For the old ladies and the medics
In the middle of the night
While the world is slowing down
Just remember their's is spinning
As we're turning out the lights
The night is only just beginning
Have we always been connected?
Have we been too long out of touch?
Has the play went undirected?
Did the actors say too much?
So we return to the centre of the wheel
Thank our lucky stars
We've got each other in this deal
So let's sing a couple verses
For the doctors and the nurses
At the frontlines of the hard times
Getting real
Watching from a distance in slow motion
Redesigning our existence with the notion
That we're all in this together
It's such a radical idea
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
Before the skies will clear
So we return to the centre of the wheel
Thank our lucky stars
We've got each other in this deal
So let's sing a couple verses
For the doctors and the nurses
At the frontlines of the hard times
Getting real
At the frontlines of the hard times
From the night shift to the daytime
Through the dark clouds
Til' the blue skies are revealed
And the economic crisis
While we sing a couple verses
Through electronic devices
For the doctors and the nurses
At the frontlines of the hard times
For the old ladies and the medics
In the middle of the night
While the world is slowing down
Just remember their's is spinning
As we're turning out the lights
The night is only just beginning
Have we always been connected?
Have we been too long out of touch?
Has the play went undirected?
Did the actors say too much?
So we return to the centre of the wheel
Thank our lucky stars
We've got each other in this deal
So let's sing a couple verses
For the doctors and the nurses
At the frontlines of the hard times
Getting real
Watching from a distance in slow motion
Redesigning our existence with the notion
That we're all in this together
It's such a radical idea
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
Before the skies will clear
So we return to the centre of the wheel
Thank our lucky stars
We've got each other in this deal
So let's sing a couple verses
For the doctors and the nurses
At the frontlines of the hard times
Getting real
At the frontlines of the hard times
From the night shift to the daytime
Through the dark clouds
Til' the blue skies are revealed
