Heavens Above — текст песни (Style Council)

Heavens above what have we done

Oh, weve killed off the thing we had so little of

True, love has no truth without a price

But the cost of loving has been blown sky high

Spend on the hope the call the peacemaker

And pray to their God - the heavy rainmaker

Paegans of wealth they dance so freely

As they give away the life that comes so cheaply



Dont you see - theres a better way for us to be

And in the back of your mind - you know its just a matter of time



Time here today is life tomorrow

Oh but life means less now the time is borrowed

Paid for in blood, the donors seem keen

As they realise too late theyve been so cheated



Surely by now weve paid the price

What is there left to sacrifice

You take the power - you take the pay

You steal the will and have the say

Im sure by now theres not much left

One hand on heart - one on a breast

You steal the milk - you milk the land

But your time is up - your time is sand!
