Intro :
Throwing stones at the e mbassy,
policeman come and arres ted me,
Paper at the universi ty,
said I was a he ro,
And t he wise old judge that I went bef ore,
wouldn't believe what I d id it for,
Said this is no way to stop the w ar,
But, how the hel l would he kn ow?
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?
Over the hills and f ar away,
I'm g onna understand one day,
What the other half believe i n,
if it's real or just dece iving,
So until I find that d ay,
I'll go along my w ay,
And I'll look back on my l ife and I'll know I lived it ri ght.
Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou
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?
Over the hills and f ar away,
I'm g onna understand one day,
What the other half believe i n,
if it's real or just dece iving,
So until I find that d ay,
I'll go along my w ay,
And I'll look back on my l ife and I'll know I lived it ri ght.
Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou
Over the hills and f ar away,
mer rily on my w ay.
1995 came qui ckly,
crept right up and now it' s hit me,
Seems the mayor of a busy c ity,
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 window,
And I see on the news some identity,
with a young man's views on society,
Said there's no room for guys like me,
But, how the hell would he know.
Over the hills and f ar away,
I'm g onna understand one day,
What the other half believe i n,
if it's real or just dece iving,
So until I find that d ay,
I'll go along my w ay,
And I'll look back on my l ife and I'll know I lived it ri ght.
Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou
Over the hills and f ar away,
mer rily on my w ay. (2x)
