Midnight Oil

Midnight Oil (also known informally as "The Oils" to fans), were an Australian alternative rock band from Sydney originally performing as Farm from 1972 with drummer Rob Hirst, bass guitarist Andrew James and keyboard player/lead guitarist Jim Moginie. While vocalist Peter Garrett was studying at Australian National University in Canberra, he answered an advertisement for a spot in Farm, and by 1975 the band was touring the east coast. By late 1976, Garrett moved to Sydney to complete his law degree, and Farm changed its name to Midnight Oil by drawing the name out of a hat. more »

You, the mothers who sent your sons
Wipe away your tears
For those who fought and those who fell
Become our sons as well

You the warriors with your words
Throw away your spears
You talk of times of peace for all
And then prepare for war

All the people with dreams, all mothers with sons
All people with dreams never woken at night by the sound of guns
Like a child that's born on a moonless night
Like a child that's born, we parachute down to an unknown fight

This city of blossom and blood
This city suffered more than it should
These sidewalk silhouettes
Not washed away, not washed away

Whatever you've done
Whatever you've done
Whatever you've done

There's a hope in the heart says never again
Whatever you say, whatever you say, whatever you say
It's the price of peace to remember that day
