Joel Plaskett Frontlines Of The Hard Times
[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
So we return
To the centre of the wheel
Thank our lucky stars
We've got each other in this deal
[Chorus]
So let's sing a couple verses
For the doctors and the nurses
At the frontlines of the hard times
Getting real
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
So we return
To the centre of the wheel
Thank our lucky stars
We've got each other in this deal
[Chorus]
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
