lyrics

Long Goodbye (Version 2)

In the endless summer of discontent
The tip of the iceberg on the darkest continent
Splintering puppets hiss through wooden grins
Toothless to bite the hand that force-feeds
Gets under their skins
This is the long goodbye

The deeper they go, the darker it gets
'Til blood stains the whitewash, liquidates idol threats
The country club's burning, body politic sweats
Soweto is up in flames
Out of time, far too late for regrets
This is the long goodbye

© Music: Jerome Faulkner (5/83)
Lyrics & Melody: Jessie Jacobson (3/85 & 7/83)
