thin ice

Singer: little river band

we're living on thin ice

we're turning away from paradise

our people are lying

our planet is crying

we're walking a tightrope

we're close to the edge and losing hope

it's time for some action

is anyone trying?

which way do we turn? where is our superman?

please come and save us from ourselves

if you can

thin ice

we're living on thin ice

and i don't believe we know how wrong it is to throw it away

thin ice

we're playing with loaded dice

we need to break through

thin ice

there's a madness that must cease

we fight in the name of making peace

soldiers of fortune

the champions we run to

they come from the old school

they'd love to rewrite the golden rule

do it to others before you get done to

that's not what we need for turning this world around

it's screaming for our attention

can't you hear the sound?

thin ice

we're living on thin ice

and i don't believe we know how wrong it is to throw it away

thin ice

we're playing with loaded dice

we need to break through

thin ice

i tell you

we're close to the edge

i warn you

we don't have a minute

hear me

i'm dying inside to tell you

warnings

i know it is hard to hear them

when you are alive and learning

it's only your passion burning

we're scraping the earth

and taking our souvenirs

it's not gonna take much more

soon we'll know the score

thin ice

we're living on thin ice

and i don't believe we know how wrong it is to throw it away

thin ice

we're playing with loaded dice

we need to break through

thin ice

thin ice

we're living on thin ice

and i don't believe we know how wrong it is to throw it away

thin ice

we're playing with loaded dice

we need to break through

thin ice
