Dream Academy

for short lived cattle crazing land
with the whole world in their hands
theyre cutting down and burning up the land
asset stripping the medicine man &
all for one and every man for himself
the conflict of interest lies
selling off cheap avoid political heat
and burn up in a forest fire
and now that theres nothing left
just a hole above our heads
letting the sunshine in
thats how the end begins
with a forest fire
the black cloud rising in the sky
up into the atmosphere
is bringing down
a different kind of weather
to the one we knew las year
and though tis taking so long to do
something about they chip away
at it bit by bit
you wont believe anything
thats grown up for so long
could be cut down this quick
and now that theres nothing left
just a hole above our heads
letting the sunshine in
thats how the end begins
with a forest fire
in the corner of a foreign land
in the wind that blows the sand
theres the sting of a thoussand lies
that burned up in a forest fire
in a forest fire
were burning up
in a clear blue sky
in a funeral pyre
in a big white lie
[ Forest Fire Lyrics ]
