John farnham, david hirschfelder, and ross fraser      All the world's a stage they say   But who decides the parts we play   A mourner in the lebanon   A logger in the amazon      Soldiers in the square of shame   Our children play in acid rain   They won't pay a martyr's bail   Black fella in a white man's jail      See the banners fall   Hear the future call   Time to start again   They're dancing on the wall   Can you hear them call   See the banners fall      The colonel wears pierre cardin   But clothes don't always make the man   The teacher preaches what he's told   But can the preacher save your soul      See the banners fall   Hear the future call   Time to start again   They're dancing on the wall   Can you hear them call   See the banners fall      Eagles in a sea of oil   Noble men on barren soil   Children waiting in the wings   Wonder what the future brings      See the banners fall   Hear the future call   Time to start again   They're dancing on the wall   Can you hear them call   See the banners fall
