[00:12.62] People, wasting away in paradise

[00:18.46] Going backwards, once in a while

[00:21.65] Taking your time, give it a try

[00:24.56] What do you believe, what do you believe?

[00:27.76] What do you believe is true?

[00:31.21] And nothing they say makes a difference this way

[00:34.40] Nothing they say will do

[00:37.58] You take all the trouble that you can afford

[00:40.51] At least you won't have time to be bored

[00:46.88] At least you won't have time to be bored

[00:54.85] Oh-oh, the power and the passion

[01:00.96] Oh-oh, the temper of the time

[01:07.34] Oh-oh, the power and the passion

[01:13.18] Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line

[01:29.39] Sunburnt faces around, with skin so brown

[01:35.49] Smiling, zinc cream and crowds, Sundays the beach, never a cloud

[01:41.34] Breathing eucalypt, pushing panel vans

[01:44.52] Stuff and munch junk food, laughing at the truth

[01:47.72] 'Cause Gough was tough 'til he hit the rough

[01:50.63] Hey, Uncle Sam and John were quite enough

[01:54.35] Too much of sunshine, too much of sky

[01:57.27] It's just enough to make you wanna cry

[02:03.38] It's just enough to make you wanna cry

[02:11.62] Oh-oh, the power and the passion

[02:17.73] Oh-oh, the temper of the time

[02:23.83] Oh-oh, the power and the passion

[02:29.96] Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line

[03:33.17] I see buildings clothing the sky, in paradise

[03:39.55] Sydney nights are warm, daytime telly,

[03:44.07] Blue rinse dawn

[03:45.67] And dad's so bad, he lives in the pub

[03:48.59] It's an underarms and football club

[03:52.04] Flat chat, Pine Gap, in every home a Big Mac

[03:54.96] And no one goes outback, that's that

[03:58.15] You take what you get to get what you please

[04:01.33] It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees

[04:07.71] It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees

[04:15.68] Oh-oh, the power and the passion

[04:21.78] Oh-oh, the temper of the time

[04:27.90] Oh-oh, the power and the passion

[04:34.03] Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line
