Far Beyond
- They wall us in from birth to death
A little bit of politics has crept through in this one.


Far away, and far beyond, and far outside, I see the wall.
High it is, and strong it is, and there it is, to stop us all.
Pen us in, and keep us down, and lock us up, control our mind.
Push they will, and pull they will, and shine the torch, until we're blind.

Reach for the sky, make you aim high.
Go for the limit, 'n' never look back.
Keep yourself true, got to be you.
Get yourself ready, and let's fight back.

Out of sight, and out of mind, and out of touch, they hold the reins.
Laws for us, and laws for them, and laws unknown, exact their pains.
Tax the rich, and tax the poor, and tax on cash, they grab it back.
Form for birth, and form for death, a form to say, you've got the sack.

Reach for the sky, make you aim high.
Go for the limit, 'n' never look back.
Keep yourself true, got to be you.
Get yourself ready, and let's fight back.

Spend on health, and spend on crime, and spend the time, to spend our wealth.
More on roads, and more on schools, and more on which, they tax by stealth.
Policy, and politics, and falsity, and all at sea, by leadership.
Can it be, and can we see, and can we free, them from the whip.

Reach for the sky, make you aim high.
Go for the limit, 'n' never look back.
Keep yourself true, got to be you.
Get yourself ready, and let's fight back.
