Read About It Lyrics - Midnight Oil

The rich get richer, the poor get the picture 

The bombs never hit you when you're down so low 

Some got pollution, some revolution 

There must be some solution but I just don't know 

The bosses want decisions, the workers need ambitions 

There won't be no collisions when they move so slow 

Nothing ever happens, nothing really matters 

No one ever tells me so what am I to know 

You wouldn't read about it, read about it 

Just another incredible scene, there's no doubt about it 

Hammer and the sickle, the news is at a trickle 

The commissars are fickle but the stockpile grows 

Bombers keep acoming, engines softly humming 

The stars and stripes are running for their own big show 

Another little flare up, storm brewed in a tea cup 

Imagine any mix up and the lot would go 

Nothing ever happens... 

You wouldn't read about it, read about it 

One unjust ridiculous steal, ain't no doubt about it 

You wouldn't read about it, read about it 

Just another particular deal, there's no doubt about it
