Lyrics :
Few of the sins of the father, are visited upon the son Hearts have been hard, our hands have been clenched in a fist too long Our sons will never be soldiers, our daughters will never need guns These are the years between These are the years that were hard fought and won Contracts torn at the edges, old signatures stained with tears Seasons of war and peace, these should not be forgotten years Still it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politics How many dreams remain? This is a feeling too strong to contain
The hardest years, the darkest years, the roarin' years, the fallen years These should not be forgotten yrs The hardest yrs, the wildest yrs, the desperate and divided yrs We will remember, these should not be forgotten yrs
Our shoreline was never invaded, our country was never in flames This is the calm we breathe, this is a feeling too strong to contain Still it aches like tetanus, it reeks of politics Signatures stained with tears, who can remember We've got to remember
The hardest... Forsaking aching breaking yrs, the time and tested heartbreak yrs These should not be forgotten yrs The blinded yrs, the binded yrs, the desperate and divided yrs These should not be forgotten yrs, remember

There's not too many, if any, bands that give tribute to that time. I don't think that they were being disrespectful to those beneath their feet. But yeah, it is a little suspect.
His four sons also had to "fight" against Russia in the next war. One stepped on a land mine in Poland, one was taken prisoner at Stalingrad, another in Czechoslovakia.
Midnight Oil is a legendary band, and I'm glad they are keeping the memories of our history alive like it should be. We will remember, we got to remember.

He was German, of course, but this is irrelevant.

All four returned, thank goodness :)
