Middle Of The Land - Hoodoo Gurus

Here I stand in the middle of the land

Take my hand in the middle of the land

You’ll see something that’s new in the sunshine

You’ll be the winter that’s turning to springtime

Here I stand in the middle of the land (In the middle of the land)

Take my hand in the middle of the land (In the middle of the land)

Someday someone will try to confuse you

And they’ll say what you want to hear and they’ll use you

I thought we’d live and learn

But some folks seem to yearn

For values unsophisticated

Those days are dead and gone

I won’t wish them back upon

A world that’s much more complicated, yeah

Here I stand in the middle of the land (In the middle of the land)

Take my hand in the middle of the land (In the middle of the land)

I said, here I stand in the middle of the land

(In the middle of the land)

You gotta take my hand, I’m always glad to lend a hand

(Always glad to lend a hand)

They’ll try to blind you with T.V. religion

Don’t buy their hand-me-down second opinions

Sometimes the biggest lies

Are most easily disguised

Dressed up like the Road To Glory

Then somewhere down the line

You’ll rub your eyes and find

You’re on a path to your own purgatory

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)

Yeah

You’ll know something as old as the moonlight

You’ll throw superstition and fear away tonight

They’ll paint us black and white

They’ll paint us wrong and right

They’ll paint us both into a corner

They’ll try to cool us down

But they could never fool us now

We’re steamed-up hotter than a Swedish sauna, yeah

Here I stand in the middle of the land

Take my, take my hand, your horizons will expand

Yeah, here I stand in the middle, middle of the land

Land, in the middle, middle of the land

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

The middle of the land

(Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)

In the middle, middle of the land

Yeah (Yeah)

Yeah (Yeah)

Yeah (Yeah)

Yeah (Yeah)

Middle of the land

Yeah (Yeah)

Yeah (Yeah)

Yeah (Yeah)

Yeah (Yeah)
