O'Ryan: Shaky ground [lyrics]

O'Ryan

Shaky ground

Get on a jet plane to cross India

Eight and a half hours of burning sun and rain

One of those monsoon days

At our destination forst signs appear

A mother and her children are grabbing at me in dispair

Just trying hard to survive

Stay alive!

How can I lay in the sun

While the hunger takes another victim

Tonight we're gonna walk on shaky ground

Outside this place

Tonight we're gonna see whats real in town

We just stand on the side and stare

We've got to try and do something

Walk on shaky ground

There's something very wrong and it's serious

We visit other countries to get a tan and make believe

Living in the sun is luxury

The sun sets down behind the hotel wall

What we don't want to see we just try and ignore

Forget about those hungry people

How can I lay in the sun

While the hunger takes another victim

Tonight we're gonna walk on shaky ground

Tonight we're gonna see whats real in town

We just stand on the side and stare

We've got to try and do something

Walk on shaky ground

Who says it's fare to play the rich man

Then home return

When the money could be better spent

Tonight we're gonna walk on shaky ground

Tonight we're gonna see whats real in town

Tonight we're gonna walk on shaky ground

Tonight we're gonna see whats real in town
