Whitlams lyrics

We pay to shed a sombre tear in the darkness together here One among the hundreds, crying for the millions And when the house lights break the trance Only then unclasp our hands Compose ourselves and fix our hair "We would have all been Schindler there" Drive in silence slowly home Now horror's more than skin and bone And can you see in 20 years We'll pay to shed the same cheap tears? In a film about an island, watch our hero take a stand Pay our money gladly to wash our hands Watching the movie we'll ask how the people might have known Let it happen there without a fight Kept driving on quietly home Left the Timorese alone 400 miles from Darwin The 2 minute hate is now the 3 hour love With any action left to up above Those people then could turn their heads Now all the same we sleep instead While 400 miles form Darwin East Timor is dying Watching the movie we'll ask how the people might have known Let it happen there without a fight Kept driving on quietly home Left the Timorese alone 400 miles from Darwin Get This Ringtone
