Tom Cochrane - Ashes to Diamonds lyrics

I've seen enough The next time you better stay loose There's plenty of government action in the neighborhood It's a general uprisin' See the men in gold The P.M.'s bad man says give me one at a time CHORUS Ashes to diamonds Taken all they find Turning blood to gold Won't let go So damned hot The next time you better slow down If they catch you near the border Then it's nothing short of dead or alive Got your number son Now we'll get your Capetown buddy Then we're gonna take you out for a ride CHORUS The moon is on the horizon This time you better stay low There's nothing short of heaven Going to help you when this hell starts to blow There's a freeze on the lines here Nothing gets in or gets out The only thing you see Is what they show you in the government news CHORUS Ashes to diamonds Blood to gold (repeat)
