  i got the razor at my wrist
  'cause i can't resist
  i've got this fever burnin' fist
  that does as i wish
  but when i get downtown
  and see what's around
  i just know there's got to be
  a better place to be found
  
  oh, god help me
  the river runs red and i think i'm dyin'
  
  well i knew there'd come a day
  when my mind would say "hey are you afraid"
  well all i know is that i been down here tryin'
  well, i'll bleed on through the night
  i suppose i'll bedead by the morning light
  no don't be surprised if you mind when you find me

• midnight oil şarkısı, sözleri şöyle:
  so you cut all the tall trees down
  you poisoned the sky and the sea
  you've taken what's good from the ground
  but you've left precious little for me
  you remember the flood and the fall
  we remember the light on the hill
  there should be enough for us all
  but the dollar is driving us still
  the river runs red, black rain falls
  dust in my hand
  river runs red, black rain falls
  on my bleeding land
  so we came and conquered, and found
  riches of commons and kings
  who strangled and wrestled the ground
  but they never put back anything
  now i'm trapped like a dog in a cage
  wherever the truth is pursued
  it must be the curse of the age
  what's taken is never renewed
  the river runs red, black rain falls
  dust in my hand
  river runs red, black rain falls
  on my bleeding land, oh yeah
  the river runs red, black rain falls
  dust in my hand
  a river runs red, black rain falls
  on my bleeding land
  land, land, land, land
  (on my bleeding land)
  land, land
  the river runs red, black rain falls
  dust in my hand
  (my hand)
  the river runs red, black rain falls
  on my bleeding land
  the river runs red, the black rain falls
  (the river runs red, the black rain falls)
  dust in my hand
  (my hand)
  the river runs red, black rain falls
  on my bleeding land
  land, land, land, land
  land, land, land, land
