It fell out of the sky
We sat and wondered why
They took it for a test
We knew they'd do their very very best
They said it wasn't theirs
There was something in the air
We got back into line
Then we bent our backs again
And oh - we didn't know the lights were low
Something in our deepest memory
Says one day, we were free
It washed up on the shore
And broke all the bloody laws
They made us clean it up
And gave us a silver cup
They let us out till ten
I did my best to buy a pen
The story must be told I said
Before the ocean's dead
And oh - we didn't know the lights were low
Something in our deepest memory
Says one day, we were free
They locked us back in the sheds
We rested our weary heads
The siren went at three
We drank our vitamin tea
They marched us to the site
We dug with all our might
We knew the day would come
We knew the day would come
And oh - we didn't know the lights were low
Something in our deepest memory
Says one day, we were free
