New Generation

Born into the human race on a little green ball in outer space

another generation takes it's place to change our history.

What direction will they go and will they learn from what we know?

How much will they think they owe to the new society?

Chorus

New generation, new generation old foundation

New generation will be, living in a world of fantasy

looking for a new reality.

 As we walk the path of life it's easy to find ourselves in strife

looking for a husband or a wife to raise a family.

In the wink of an eye you find you're old

and the kids won't do a thing they're told.

All of a sudden you lose your hold and the children ... all run free.

New generation, new generation old foundation

new generation, will be, living in a world of fantasy

looking for a new reality.

Born into the human race on a little green ball in outer space

another generation takes it's place to change our history.

What direction will they go and will they learn from what we know?

How much will they think they owe to the new society?

New generation, new generation old foundation

New generation will be, living in a world of fantasy

looking for a new reality.

Art Official Art

 You live inside your body, in a house, upon a street.

In a town or in the country, on the world beneath your feet.

The universe around the earth is an infinite sea of stars

 in case you had not noticed, that's exactly where you are.

We come from a planet, called Art Star One.

From a new dimension of time and space of shape and form.

Everybody has, a special purpose a mission that began

on the day that, you were born.

When you fulfil, your quest I this life.

You will return to the realm of light it's just a ... dream away.

Back to the world, of imagination, because your life is a never ending holiday.

You woke up from a dream, as a new born child.

To arrive at the point you start because the spirit never dies.

Chorus

I sing about life, in the name of creation, I sing the facts of art to modern man

and we have got to keep on singing, till he understands.

The law of nature is the law of the land.

This far out world, is Paradise.

It's an open air gallery, of living art.

Art that is growing, towards the sun

and the endless beat of eternity is in your heart.

You are at one with creation and the powers that be

in the silent calm of inner space you can fly through the galaxy.

Imagination, is a river of thought.

That's where the solutions to all your,  problems flow.

It's a river of thought, so let that river run free.

Through the valleys and the mountains that's the way it's meant to be.

It's a river of love,  so let that river run free.

Through the crystal streams and the waterfalls, the flowers and the trees.

I sing about life, In the name of creation, I sing the facts of art to modern man

and we have got to keep on singing, till he understands

the key to creation is in your hand, I sing about life, in the name of Creation.

I sing the facts of art to modern man.

I sing about life, In the name of creation.

The law of Nature … is the law ... of the .. . Land.

The Cause

Everybody is fighting to survive, everybody is fighting to survive

and you can thank your lucky stars you are alive

and you can thank your lucky stars you are alive.

Everybody is fighting for a cause, everybody is fighting for a cause

oh! and little things can soon turn into wars

 oh! and little things can soon turn into wars.

Chorus

Well I say, what's the cause of your existence? what's the cause of war?

what's the cause of all you do and what are you fighting for?

what cause are you fighting for?

Everybody is looking for a clue, everybody is looking for a clue

ah! but all the answers are right inside of you

 ah! but all the answers are right inside of you.

And I say, what's the cause of your existence? what's the cause of war?

what's the cause of all you do and what are you fighting for?

what cause are you fighting for?

Everybody is waiting for the day, everybody is waiting for the day

when the troubles of the world have all gone away

oh! when the troubles of the world have all gone away.

And I say, what's the cause of your existence? what's the cause of war?

what's the cause of all you do and what are you fighting for?

what cause are you fighting for?

The Wind Through The Banners

There's an old ragged banner, hanging high up in the trees.

     ‘Save the World For The Children’, blowing in the breeze.

     Land Rights flags and rainbows for all the world to see.

     ‘Save the World For The Children’ and that's alright by me.

Chorus    

I hear the wind through the banners, when I go to sleep at night.

      Rustling through the trees, as I lay by the firelight.

    We'll keep those banners flying high my friend, until our work is done.

      We're gonna make the world a safer place, for every single one.

We fought hard for the trees in the Nightcap,

     at Chealundi and Wingham state.

    At Aidex and at Pine Gap we were chained up to the gate.

     At Emerald beach and Bondi we said, 'Keep Our Oceans Clean'.

     Save the world for the children and you know what that means.

I hear the wind through the banners when I go to sleep at night ...

You've seen us in the rallies, at the blockades and on TV.

     You've heard us tell the whole wide world how we think things should be.

     We are the Rainbow Warriors and our work has just begun.

     Make the world a safer place ... for every single one.

 I hear the wind through the banners when I go to sleep at night ...

There's an old ragged banner, hanging high up in the trees.

    ‘Save The World for the children’, blowing in the breeze.

     Land Rights flags and rainbows for all the world to see.

     ‘Save The World For The Children’ and that's alright by me.

I hear the wind through the banners when I go to sleep at night.

      Rustling through the trees as I lay by the firelight.

    We'll keep those banners flying high my friend, until our work is done.

     We're gonna make the world a safer place ... for every … single  … one.

 Metal Skin Creepers

I have seen the metal skin creepers, mining the precious firestone dust.

They scan the surface with their metal detectors

then the drills go down below the crust.

Chorus

Metal skin creepers, heepers jeepers, metal skin creepers ... everywhere.

There isn't a human among the mob no, I can't see one ... anywhere.

The firestone dust is a deadly fuel, they use it to power the war machine.

The beast of destruction is out of control

and we are closer to the edge than we have ever been.

Metal skin creepers, heepers jeepers, metal skin creepers ... everywhere.

There isn't a human among the mob no, I can't see one ... anywhere.

As we await the closing scene, will the world explode in a flash of light?

Will the story of man be lost forever, as a star goes out in the dead of night?

Metal skin creepers, heepers jeepers, metal skin creepers ... everywhere.

There isn't a human among the mob no ... I can't see one ... anywhere.

The News

For the latest information about the world today

you don't have to look too far the news is on it's way.

Well it's on the television, on the radio' o.

You can read it in the paper if you really want to know.

Chorus 

The news is so confusing, the news is not amusing.

The news just keeps on oozing out into my tortured brain.

Radio waves are beaming, the paper boy is screaming

and the weather girl says it looks like we might be in for a little rain.

 Here we go again … here we go again … here we go again … here we go again …

 Well you’re sitting there in your lounge room

and your eyes are on the TV screen,

you see the pictures and I hear the words,

but you don't know what they mean.

you feel a strange sensation but there's nothing you can do

so you change to another station are you frightened of the truth?

 The news is so confusing, the news is not amusing.

The news just keeps on oozing out into my tortured brain.

Radio waves are beaming, the paper boy is screaming

and the weather girl says it looks like we might be in for a little rain.

 Here we go again … here we go again …

 I'm gonna smash the television and I'll break the radio ' o

and I think I'll burn the paper because I just don't want to know.

 The news is so confusing, the news is not amusing.

The news just keeps on oozing out into my tortured brain.

Radio waves are beaming, the paper boy is screaming

and the weather girl says it looks like we might be in for a little rain.

 Here we go again … here we go again … here we go again … here we go again

Once upon a Planet

Once upon a planet in the history of the world

There was a song that became the favorite tune of every boy and girl

On every land across the globe they sang it with optimism and hope

and everybody that heard it had to sing along.

                                                                                                                                                                            Oh! Yes and …

          Once upon a planet when those children sang their song

They sang it loud and they sang it proud, so it confident and strong

It was a tale by human beings, All about being human being

Come on everybody and help us sing our song.

                                                                         And we sing …

We are all humans ... humans are we

we live on planet earth as she spins around in the galaxy.

When something's bad we ban it, because we love our planet

it's the home of humanity.

                                    Once upon a planet the oceans were all clean

the weather was fine and the earth was rich and the countryside was green.

The air was fresh and pure, the sky was so much bluer

but we changed that when we came on the scene.

                                                                           Oh! yes we ....

let our poison waste spill into rivers lakes and seas

we changed the weather patterns when we chopped down all the trees.

We filled the air with our pollution, but there is one solution 

and we call it ... ECOLOGY!

                                                                     And we sing ...

We are all humans ... humans are we …

we live on planet earth as she spins around in the galaxy.

When something's bad we ban it, because we love our planet

it's the home of humanity.

                      Once upon a planet at the edge of the galaxy

at the end of the age of ignorance  and the start of a brand new century.

At the birth of a new generation, and the dawn of a one earth nation

of this multi-cultural family.

                                                               Oh! yes we ...

put aside our differences and we found we were the same

then we put it all down to experience because nobody is to blame.

When we think global and act local, the world becomes our focal point.

 we can heal the earth ... in creations name,

                                                             And we sing ...

We are all humans ... humans  are we ...

  we live on planet earth as she spins around in the galaxy.

When something's bad we ban it, because we love our planet

it's the home of humanity.

(Music slows with a vocal retardation)

Once upon a planet some children sang a song

That soon became so popular the whole world sang along.

It was sung by every nation at a worldwide celebration

By a choir that was ten billion people strong.

                                                                     And we sang …

We are all humans ... humans  are we ...

 we live on planet earth as she spins around in the galaxy.

When something's bad we ban it, because we love our planet

it's the home of humanity.  

(Repeat chorus)

                We are all humans ... humans  are we ...             

we live on planet earth as she spins around in the galaxy.

When something's bad we ban it, because we love our planet

it's the home … of humanity

(Music slows down with a vocal retardation on the word, …

Hu … ooo! ooo! maaaaan … I … I … I … I …  tee … ee … ee … ee … ee … ee … eeeee!)

The Rainbow Dream

Faster than the speed of thought rainbow circles spiral down
into the middle of a rainbow ring, hand in hand we dance around.

Chorus

Red, orange, yellow and green, blue and purple rainbow dream.
Red, orange, yellow and green, blue and purple rainbow dream.

Come to where the bluebirds fly, over the rainbow way up high
if birds can fly then so can I, up into the clear blue sky.

Red, orange, yellow and green, blue and purple rainbow dream ...

Red, orange, yellow and green, blue and purple rainbow dream ...

The rainbow aura of the earth, is a gift from Mother Nature to us all at birth

a bridge from darkness into light, a reminder to us all of what is right.

Red, orange, yellow and green blue and purple rainbow dream …

Faster than the speed of thought, rainbow circles spiral down

into the middle of a rainbow ring, hand in hand we dance around.

Red, orange, yellow and green, blue and purple rainbow dream ...

Red, orange, yellow and green, blue and purple rainbow dream.

The Big Smoke City

You're in the Big smoke … Big smoke.

You're in the Big smoke, Big smoke city.

In the Big smoke, Big smoke, you're in the Big smoke.

Big smoke city, Big smoke city, Big smoke city ... Alright!

Well that big smoke city, shows no pity.

All of Gods children, push and shove.

In the hustle, and the bustle, they scavenge around, for scraps of love.

Chorus

You're in the Big smoke … Big smoke.

You're in the Big smoke, Big smoke city.

In the Big smoke, Big smoke, you're in the Big smoke.

Big smoke city, Big smoke city, Big smoke city ... Alright!

Well that street life circus, makes me so nervous.

The things I've got to do to, earn a crust.

It's a barren waste, a sea of faces, and there isn't a soul that … I can trust.

In the Big smoke, Big smoke, in the Big smoke, Big smoke city.

In the Big smoke … Big smoke, in the Big smoke.

Big smoke city, you bad old city, on the surface you look so pretty.

Big smoke city, Yeah! ... That's my home.

Street lights flashing, among the trash ... crimes of passion, ashes to ashes.

You're in the Big smoke … Big smoke.

You're in the Big smoke, Big smoke city.

In the Big smoke, Big smoke, you're in the Big smoke.

Big smoke city, Big smoke city, Big smoke city ... Alright!

Well there's street light flashing, among the trash.

I'm gonna give that woman just, one more try.

So if you happen to see me,  alone at the bar,

buy me one more drink before I die.

In the Big smoke, Big smoke, in the Big smoke, Big smoke city.

In the Big smoke … Big smoke, in the Big smoke.

Big smoke city, you bad old city, on the surface you look so pretty.

Big smoke city, Yeah! ... That's my home.

In the Big smoke, Big smoke, in the Big smoke.

This World

This world is yours and this world is mine.

From the age of love, till the end of time.

This world is yours and this world is mine.

From the age of love, till the end of time.

(This section is yet to be recorded)

Tell the whole wide world it's time to get on the same page

to break the lock on the door and climb out of the cage

We're moving towards the future

and we're taking it to the sunny side of town.

This world is yours, this world is mine.

From the Age of love, till the end of time.

This world is yours and this world is mine

what we do now will determine our time.

                                 Planet earth is in a mess. Apathy means you don’t care less.

The teen tribe is on the move, teaching the old world to get in the groove.

Take it over baby … take it over right now.

 This world is yours, this world is mine.

From the Age of love, till the end of time.

This world is yours and this world is mine.

What we do now will determine our time.

I was led to led to believe we inherit this Earth,

to exploit and control for whatever it’s worth.

But if the truth were to be known it is the other way around.

It belongs to the children, let’s keep it safe and sound.

This world is yours, this world is mine.

From the Age of love, till the end of time.

This world is yours and this world is mine.

From the Age of love, till the end of time.

We gonna make this planet a safer place to live.

We’ve taken away so much but now we’ve got so much to give

We’re doing it for the children … we’re doing it right now,… Baby!

RAP!

                   Yeah! I am skating close to the edge,

I don’t know what I should believe.

I get so many opinions about this life I’m living here.

They say “you got to reduce your impact,

C’mon buy a brand new car.

Tomorrow will take care of itself,

that’s just the way things are.

But I say “who am I to indulge in the lap of luxury?”

While we tinker on extinction in this land of liberty.

Who am I to say this world is mine to throw away?

Just like some worthless piece of garbage

in a gutter or a bin.

I don’t know what I should be doing

to be part of the big solution

I don’t know what there is to believe in

about this world I’m living in.

 This world is yours and this world is mine.

From the age of love, till the end of time.

This world is yours and this world is mine.

what we do now, will determine our time.

                               This world is yours, this world is mine.

From the Age of love, till the end of time.

This world is yours and this world is mine.

From the Age of love, till the end of time.

The Mess-Age

You stand before the Money God and for mercy you pray.

       The chips are down on the trading floor at the end of the day.

      You lost it all to the Money game now your dream won't come true.

     I don't believe in the Money God and I've got a message here for you.

Chorus 

This is it, this is the Mess-age you've got to read ... between the lines.

     This is it, this is the Mess-age, you can't believe a word he says

     he's lying all the time.

The Money God makes a promise that he knows he cannot keep.

     Now the debt to the global system, is getting far too steep.

      The cost to the world of nature is too far beyond our means.

      I don't believe in the Money God cause he ain't quite what he seems

       That's right.

This is it, this is the Mess-age you've got to read ... between the lines.

      This is it, this is the Mess-age, you can't believe a word he says

      he's lying all the time.

All alone, in the line of fire, we caught you out to be a liar.

     To be a fake, a false Messiah, but now your time, your time has come.

We might just make some history by cleaning up our mess.

    If you want to be slave to the Money God, well you can be my guest.

     Become a part of the global movement, if you long for world improvement.

     You can help us to clean this mess that we have made.

     It's just a stage of evolution so be part of the revolution.

      Stand up! for your rights to have a say.

If you believe you've got no power and with every passing hour

      the situation becomes a little more, out of hand.

     Then like tidal wave of terror, expose the fundamental error

     in our behaviour upon this timeless ... sacred land … Lord!

This is it, this is the Mess-age, you've got to think between the lines.

     This is it, this is the Mess-age, you've got to think between the lines.

     This is it, this is the Mess-age, you've got to THINK!  between the lines.

     This is it, this is the Mess-age, you've got to think ...'Big!'.

All alone, in the line of fire, we caught you out to be a liar.

Reason or Rhyme

When I look up at the stars in the evening sky
you know it makes me feel so small.

     Then my thoughts begin to wander, and it makes me wonder

     if there’s a reason for it all.

The secrets of life are a mystery and I suppose we will never ever know.

     If there’s a purpose for creation, it’s a fascination

      but I guess that is just how it goes

     So sit back and relax, come on and check out the show.

 Chorus

     The world is a stage and we are the actors,

     in the greatest production of all time.

     If you don’t understand, the law of the land

     believe me that is not a crime.

     Cause there’s no reason, no reason or rhyme.

The law of the land, is the law of man

     we are exempt from the laws of nature so it seems

     or else then, how could it be, the devastation you see.

     Will you heed the call before the earth begins to scream?

The rednecks and the greenies are at loggerheads

     and there are points to go in favour of each side.

    If there is common ground, you can be sure it will be found

      beneath the feet of every person, from both sides.

      We are in this together, how ever the truth may divide.

The world is a stage and we are the actors …

(This is a newly written verse as yet unrecorded)    

If you look down upon the earth from up in, outer space

you’ll see the closest thing to heaven there may be.

but there’s a sticky situation, in every single nation

because paradise has fallen to it’s knees

it’s up to the human species to get it back up on it’s feet

so the children will go on in history.

it’s a sticky situation, in every single nation

it’s time to be the best that we can be.

     The world is a stage and we are the actors,

     in the greatest production of all time

     If you don’t understand the law of the land

     believe me that is not a crime. Cause there’s no reason, no reason or rhyme.

     Yes there’s no reason, no reason or rhyme.
