LYRICS
People, wasting away in paradise
Going backward, once in a while
Moving ahead, falling behind
What do you believe, what do you believe
What do you believe is true
Nothing they say makes a difference this way
Nothing they say will do
Take all the trouble that you can afford
At least you won't have time to be bored
Oh the power and the passion, oh the temper of the time
Oh the power and the passion
Sometimes you've got to take the hardest line
Sun burnt faces around, with skin so brown
Smiling zinc cream and crowds, Sundays the beach never a cloud
Breathing eucalypti, pushing panel vans
Stuff and munch junk food
Laughing at the truth, 'cause Gough was tough till he hit the rough
Uncle Sam and John were quite enough
Too much of sunshine too much of sky
It's enough to make you want to cry
Oh the power
I see buildings, clothing the sky, in paradise
Sydney, nights are warm
Daytime telly, blue rinse dawn
Dad's so bad he lives in the pub, it's a underarms and football clubs
Flat chat, Pine Gap, in every home a Big Mac
And no one goes outback, that's that
You take what you get and get what you please
It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees
Oh the power
“Power and the Passion” originally appeared on the album 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

One of those songs you can never quite play loud enough.
Dudes are in their 60s and are better at performing and owning the stage than the 'stars' that are in my generation.
Oceania's gift to The World.
This song is 39 years old. "10 to 1" was definitely ahead of its time.
All the words resonate but particularly “better to die on your feet than live on your knees”.
41 years ago I saw Midnight Oil at The Royal Antler Narrabeen. I have to thank the boys from The Strand house at Dee Why for taking me to the gig.
a life time ago i thought i was the fastest cab driver in sydney .i remember what a blast it was coming off the bridge onto the cahill expressway and hitting the right turn as you go into the tunnel with the old HX just hanging on heading towards the domain with a terrified passenger hanging on topping it off the the radio turned up and the power and the passion coming out full blast .it was a great driving song when you were in a hurry
What a band, tight, percussive, educational, entertaining and a part of Australian history, thankyou Midnight Oil.Fond memories of seeing you live.

THE WORLD NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY MIDNIGHT OIL!!! DONT EVER STOP MAKING MUSIC!!! PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING IS WRONG!!! THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF EVIL PEOPLE, PEOPLE WHO DO EVIL THINGS, AND PEOPLE WHO SEE EVIL THINGS BEING DONE AND DONT TRY TO STOP IT. PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING MUSIC!!!!
After all these years that drum solo us still ridiculous, and fantastic! So much fun :)
Great song! Bass player strung it altogether. Just listen to what he is playing.
without doubt some of the finest oz music
Rob Hirst you legend!!!!!
Rest In Power, Bones Hillman!!
Rob's an animal. This was the first Oils song I ever heard.
I like the Oils, got into them about a year ago, I am a 33 year old Australian male thinking they were a boring meat and potatoes rock band, was kinda wrong about that...
