Midnight Oil 'Song a Day' #23 "Sometimes"

"Sometimes"
I know that the sunset empire shudders and shakes
I know there's a floodgate and a raging river
I say the silence of the ribbons of iron and steel
I say hear the punch drunk huddle drive hammer and steel
Sometimes you're beaten to the call
Sometimes you're taken to the wall
But you don't give in
I know that the cannibals wear smart suits and ties
I know they arm wrestle on the altar
I say don't leave your heart in a hard place
Sometimes you're shaken to the core
Sometimes the face is gonna fall
But you don't give in

One of my absolute favourite Oils tracks EVER...
A bit soft I guess, but it often makes me cry at a concert in he way it captures the emotion of struggle and I can almost visualise the faces of those I know 'doing it tough'...
I too have had moments where this song has encouraged "But you don't give in"
