The tucker box is empty now
  The heart of Kelly?s country cleared
  The gangers on the southern line
  Like the steam trains have disappeared
  Pelicans glide
  Miracles up in the skies
  We vote for a government
  With axes in ist eyes
  
  Mountains of Burma
  The road to Mandalay
  In the mountains of Burma
  Light years away
  Mountains of Burma
  
  Will the sons of solidarity
  Still march on May Day
  Will the sisters of the seventies
  Still fight for equal pay
  There?s noone on the Reeperbahn
  No more blankets handed out for land
  We feed an economy
  It?s got blood on ist hand
  
  Mountains of Burma
  The road to Mandalay
  Mountains of Burma
  Light years away
  In the mountains of Burma
  The road to Mandalay
  In the mountains of Burma
  Hope you?re light years away
  
  Pack your bags full of guns and ammunition
  Bills fall due for the undustrial revolution
  Scorch the earth till the earth surrenders
  
  Soldiers of armies
  Storm empty fields
  In a traveller?s trance
  On the way to the high frontier
  Sleepwalkers stumble
  Cable cars run aground
  Imaginary enemies
  Form high above the clouds
  
  In the mountains of Burma ...
