Over the hills and far away (Audio)

Throwing stones at the embassy
Policeman come and arrested me
Paper at the university said, I was a hero
And the wise old judge that I went before
wouldn't believe what I did it for,
said, this is no way to stop the war
But how the hell would he know?

Singing songs of dissolution,
ban the bomb and beat pollution,
writing on walls about a revolution 
that's guaranteed to grow
And I see on the news some identity,
with an old man's views on society,
said, there's no room for guys like me
But how the hell would he know?

(Chorus:)
Over the hills and far away,
I'm gonna understand one day,
what the other half believe in,
if it's real or just deceiving
So until I find that day,
I'll go along my way
And I'll look back on my life
And I'll know I lived it right.

Instrumental (do do do...)

Lying down across the roadway,
almost lasted out the whole day
Drivers trying but there was no way 
left for them to go
And the wise old judge that we went before
wouldn't believe what we did it for,
said, this is no way to help the poor
But how the hell would he know?

Chorus

Instrumental (do do do...)

(Bridge:)
Over the hills and far away,
merrily on my way.

Ninteen-ninty-five came quickly,
crept right up, and now it's hit me
Seems the mayor of a busy city 
don't know where the days go
Build a bridge and move the highway,
spend the rest and mend the byways
Someone wrote things across my driveway,
and someone broke my windows
And I see on the news some identity,
with a young man's views on society,
says there's no room for guys like me
But how the hell would he know?

Chorus

Instrumental (do do do...)

Bridge (bis)
