lirik lagu as the sun goes down – mc mantra
[bridge]
i don’t dance in the moonlight much
there’s no romance in the moves i bust
i can count on one hand the people whom i trust
and it’s rare that the mood strikes us
as the sun goes down
[verse 1]
and the credits role again
the curtains are drawn on yet another day inside the holdin’ pen
and all the men and women from melbourne to berlin
retire for another night of awaitin’ the world’s end
they were born at the same time as me
with the same hopes and dreams of the way life should be
what they might achieve, if they strive to exceed the limits
and take flight, what a great height can be reached
learn to speak, learn to walk, learn to read, learn to count
learn to think for yourself, try it out
make the most of your time, make a difference
make sure you’re kind to your neighbours, and mindful of your spirit
that’s what they taught us in the day, and in a way
i kinda wish what actually happened had been the same
instead i sit and wonder just how many of us got there
now we know that life’s not fair
[hook]
as the sun goes down
we let the twilight remind us
what it means to be among the survivors
how to deal with the crisis, as night falls
stretches, toward the ground
as the sun goes down
we let the twilight remind us
what it means to be among the survivors
how to deal with the crisis, as nightfall
rests upon this town
as the sun goes down
[verse 2]
and this city’s dark again
i realise nightfall is now my only friend
with no sunlight to hide all the corruption and the crooked men
the broken bones, broken hearts that we couldn’t mend
from dawn ‘til dusk, we kick up dust
and kick up a fuss, whenever something disgusts us
but if anything is truly pressing we don’t discuss much
we don’t wanna get too depressed, and gotta pick up lunch
learn to cheat, learn to steal, learn to p-ss the blame
learn to read the situation, learn to play the game
make a profit, make dollars, make millions
it doesn’t make sense just to mind your own business
but as the sun sets, one gets a little too pensive
the darkness in my heart puts me back on the defensive
my minds so restless, my chest grows breathless
who knows what the next step is
[hook]
as the sun goes down
we let the twilight remind us
what it means to be among the survivors
how to deal with the crisis, as night falls
stretches, toward the ground
as the sun goes down
we let the twilight remind us
what it means to be among the survivors
how to deal with the crisis, as nightfall
rests upon this town
as the sun goes down

i don’t dance in the moonlight much
there’s no romance in the moves i bust
i can count on one hand the people whom i trust
and it’s rare that the mood strikes us
[verse 3]
hey yo, i often wonder if we got the chance to shoot the breeze
what i would say to that innocent baby boy i used to be
would i tell him “it’ll all be alright
you’ll be safe and secure through the course of your life”?
or would i tell him honestly, how it’s gonna be
how life is often unjust for the majority
how those in power can act with pure evil
and bad things frequently happen to good people
how up here there’s not much room for jubilation
our own environment is one the human race has mutilated
we scarred the face of the planet like parasites
then expect it to forgive our sins like a battered wife
we’re putting weapons up in space
we got satellites that can read the expression on your face
we got drone aircrafts, remote control soldiers
k!lling ordinary folk for petroleum stakeholders
m-ss murderers, corrupt m-ss media
misleading [is deviously building(?)] m-ss hysteria
building cathedrals so high, we can touch god
while systematically denying where we come from
so all that’s left for us to do is make a dumb song
and sing along to that fucker when the sun’s gone
the world is dark and worn
you can either see it all or stay looked indoors
as the sun goes down
[hook]
as the sun goes down
we let the twilight remind us
what it means to be among the survivors
how to deal with the crisis, as night falls
stretches, toward the ground
as the sun goes down
we let the twilight remind us
what it means to be among the survivors
how to deal with the crisis, as nightfall
rests upon this town
as the sun goes down
