Used and Abused Songtext
von Midnight Oil

I was taken downtown for my part in the demonstration
I was used and abused with the light in my eye at the station
I said
No no you got the wrong man
No no don′t pick on me again
No no I'm going home to my family and friends


I′m too busy making a living to make any money
And the living ain't easy and the money disappears in a hurry, now
I said
No no I should've stayed at school
No no they′re treating me so cruel
No no I′m breaking all the rules
Breaking all the rules

No no

I was talking to the man he said were gonna make a deal
I was fooled into thinking the paper in my pocket was real
I said
No no you've been taken again
No no you′re losing all your friends
No no it's just a matter of sense
It′s just a matter of sense
