Midnight Oil Hercules
My life is valuable thing
I want to keep it that way
I won't cry
My life's such a valuable thing
And some things don't fade away
But I don't mind
We give the best we can give
We won't forget, we can't forgive
Keep us radioactive free
Strike a bell in Hiroshima Park
You know that we can't see in the dark
We try and we try and we try
Who waits for the planes to come
When everybody's got you on the run
South Pacific carry on
It seems to me that what we're saying
Nobody wants to talk about
This is no time to be wondering why
I do the best I can do
The human jungle and the global zoo
I'll find my way, it's a very special world
Why wait for the planes to come
When everybody's got you on the run
South Pacific carry on
Here comes the Hercules
Here comes the submarines
Sinking South Pacific dreams
This is something I will remember
