[Intro]
Born tonight there's another great fire
Every night, start another great fire
Born tonight there's another great fire
Every night, start another great fire
These ships can build themselves
Why should we stick around
[Chorus]
Sheathe all your weapons and head for the South
There's gold in those hills
Those hills are your standard and
We could be something in a new location
We could be something in a new location
[Verse]
Did you ever study the Israelites?
They made a new life for themselves
With such a peculiar change
A key geographic or dietary switch
Could do just the same for us
[Chorus]
[Verse]
So don't go draw the blinds
Horizons are our fortunes
I'll raise the mast alone
And force you all to see my thoughts
That this neighbourhood's flooded
The honeymoon's done
And our talents are wasted on beggars and scum
When in paradise we could be healthy and free
Pumped full of bu*ter, smiling throughout
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Sheathe all your weapons and give up the fight
A prospector can dream
And a dream's what we'll have tonight
We could be something in a new location
If that one change could make all the difference
