Midnight Oil foi uma banda de rock australiana formada em Sydney no final de 1976. Após o lançamento do décimo primeiro álbum de estúdio e uma turnê pelo mundo o Midnight Oil encerra suas atividades. O principal motivo foi a saída do vocalista Peter Garrett em 2002.
O Midnight Oil é conhecido em todo o mundo como uma banda de ideais políticos e ambientais fortes. Sua maneira de abordar tais temas a transformou suas canções em hinos e suas apresentações em comícios, mantendo vivo o espírito contestador e inconformista do rock.

Verse: EmGBmDEmGBmD Speed, and and this EmGBmDEmGBmD There's a feeling I get when I look to the sun EmGBmDEmGBmD Love, it's so tough EmGBmD Cause it raises your hopes and then it makes you run
Chorus: EmBmEm/C# We're all looking for a shorter day EmBmEm/C# We're all looking for an easy way FGD Even when the debts are dead and gone
Then: EmGBmDEmGBmD
Verse 2 DmFAmCDmFAmC Down, Down the stairs DmFAmCDmFAmC And an eight mile drive waits for you to turn on DmFAmCDmFAmC Hear, the time clocks sing DmFAmCDmFAmC And the smoke in the distance reaches the eye line

No conversation as you go There's so much space the heat moves you Terracotta homes, backyard barbeque and eucalyptus smell It's fine on the clothes line It's fast food and slow life and red roof My silence, comic interruptions Surely there's some relief from atomic art
*These Chords are played (on a an acoustic in the album wersion) throughout Petes Rant:
AmFM9CG/B DmFm9DmG/B
And the fragile state of world events With clowns who love the kings and power and the mutant media babes Wanking on dreams and fashions and toilet paper flowers Don't talk to me in this backyard - it's clandestine, it's nuclear Smell of space and now forever I wanna go Straight down the exit eight mile attraction U-turn is up and the time clock sings lets go
DmFAmCDmFAmC Lucky!! Country!! DmFAmCDmFAmC Where the geckos are paid to live in the sun DmFAmCDmFAmC (ah on) Lucky!!(on, and on)Country!! DmFAmCDmFAmC There's a ribbon of road and a mile to spare
End: DmFAmCDmFAmC Luc-ky Coun-try Luc-ky Coun-try
DmFAmCDmFAmC Luc-ky Coun-try Luc-ky Coun-try
DmFAmCDmFAmC Luc-ky Coun-try
DmFAmCDmFAmC Luc-ky Coun-try
DmFAmCDmFAmC Luc-ky Coun-try Luc-ky Coun-try (repeat to fade)
