Sell My Soul

Midnight Oil · Scream In Blue - Live [1992]

Let's begin, I am ready, let's begin

Sell my soul to him

Shed my skin, I just wanna shed my skin

I don't wanna sell my soul to him

Mechanize, city bursts and farmers die

They cry

Sleep face down in a goods train heading south in the rain



In this world I often think you'd understand me

In these words I often think you'd recognise me

'cos I just wanna swim with the fish in the sea

and I want faith to heal so that I can be clean



America's great now

If you don't talk back

You hide your face

Crawl and rubble,

And smile and small

That snails-paced creature

Going up and down walls



Celebrate, I just want to celebrate

I'm not going to sell my soul to him

When you look right in
