Sometimes — текст песни (midnight oil)

I know that the sunset empire shudders and shakes
I know there`s a floodgate and a raging river
I say see the silence of the ribbons of iron and steel
I say hear the punch drunk buddle drive hammer and wheel

Sometimes you`re beaten to the call
Sometimes you`re taken to the wall
But you don`t give in

I know that the cannibals wear smart suits and ties
I know they arm wrestle on the altar
I say don`t leave your heart in a hard place

Sometimes you`re shaken to the core
Sometimes the face is gonna fall
But you don`t give in
