lyrics

The Ghostland

Set the wheels a hummin "          
Fill up with Gasoline
Rubber tyres for burnin"
Head west to find a dream
The madmen they are comin
To take away your corn
your houses are forgotten
No matter where your born 

Politics and money 
And the monster must be fed 
No matter what the consequences 
Turn you out  your bed 
The land must be for profit 
A new time  has begun 
Your friend becomes your enemy 
At the barrel of a gun

On and On and On and On 
a Ghostland we've become


Many chase the Gold rush
To find the biggest seam
Break their souls for riches 
Beyond your wildest dreams
Gone to California
Hearts of Boom and bust 
See the storm a comin
the land has turned  to dust

Head across the desert
from the mountain to the sea
where the orange blossom grows 
In the land of the free
Onward ever onward
Shoulder to the wheel 
Until your heart lies bleeding 
And there nothing left to feel 

On and On and On and On 
a Ghostland we've become
On and on and on and on
a Ghostland we've become 











We are Hollowed out and fractured
Cut and stitch the seam
New clothes put together 
From rags to richest dream
Americas Steam Roller  
Is a giant  head of steam
Tractored out the farmer
On a ship of heavy beam

Built up hell for leather 
Made a Rustbelt in the sun
Free land for the cropper
A dustbowl has become
With Fortunes built on  Oil 
Hard labour iron,  and steel 
We are Trading cash for money
With machines that make the deal

On and On and On and On 
a Ghostland we've become

Leave behind a wasteland 
Sail on a ship Of fools
Carrying your belongings 
All your courage and your tools
Head across the desert
from the mountain to the sea
Where the orange blossom grows 
In the land of the free

The Skylines constant changing
Before your very eyes
where once we built the future
Its hard to recognise
Now standing on the corner 
With echoes of the past 
The children of tomorrow
Contemplate  a world so vast

On and On and On and On 
a Ghostland we've become
On and on and on and on
a Ghostland we've become
