I'd never heard any Midnight Oil song other than "Beds are Burning" before your post, Bulldog. I like the sound of "Dead Heart" as well as these lyrics:
"Mining companies, pastoral companies, Uranium companies, Collected companies, Got more right than people, Got more say than people. Forty thousand years can make a difference to the state of things."
