lyrics

We left the road at Richmond and headed for the hills
It’s Liberation day in Sector 3
we’ve all been given yellow freedom pills
Let’s hallucinate together
and deconstruct our brains
The posters say ‘Forever and Ever’ it’s Liberation Day

We took the Beta highway
the barriers were down
Past decommissioned mines of Sector 3
(Were we the only people leaving town?)
Let’s imaginate together
and sychchronise our dreams
The posters say ‘Forever and Ever’
it’s not the way it seems

We read the grid at Newtown and drove across the hills
To the river at the edge of Sector 3
and Ezra took the final freedom pill
We’ve never trusted Ezra
he’s trouble every time
But we struck out and down to the river
and left the hills behind

The ferry man on duty said ‘No crossing possible today
It’s swollen and you’re not allowed to cross that river anyway’
We offered him 5 tokens
and a box of Major Grant’s
He said ‘I’m not open to persuasion I cannot take that chance’
Then Ezra told this joker that
he’s gonna break his nose
We said Ezra,‘don’t be crazy they’ve got two-way radios
They could be here in seconds
‘cos those choppers fly like sound’
And Ezra saw the sense in this agreed to turn around

We drove back home to Richmond
and climbed down from the hills
The day was nearly done on Sector 3
They’d cleared away the stocks of freedom pills
Let’s forget our day together
and reconstruct our brains
The posters say ‘Forever and Ever’
it’s Liberation Day, Liberation Day
