Midnight Oil - Don't Wanna Be The One Lyrics
I'm an innocent victim, I'm just like you
We end up in home units with a brick wall view
I can't believe the perfect families on my colour TV
If I don't make it to the top it'll never bother me
And I don't wanna be the one
I'm an innocent bystander caught in the path
Waiting out the back while the corporate attack
Assaults the senses with relentless scenes of passion and delight
I cut up all the options and went running for my life

Midnight Oil Don't Wanna Be The One Comments
Now this is the Power & the Passion !!! Ohh we've gone backwards, notice how with no phones, people are experiencing this in the moment, not recording it for the future, No wankers in Hi VIS telling people to calm down & behave, No aggro, nothing but a good crowd gettin off on Great music out in the open, I wonder if those PA stacks would be allowed today, possibly too Loud by OH&S standards mmmmmmmmmmmmm !!! Thanks for all the memories of Awesome gigs, concerts & activism OOOOOOOOOOIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLSSSSS
Still listening in 2019, wish he kept going
The Oils are LEGENDS, awesome Live! The negative comments are from people whom do not like Peter, because he was a Politician trying to help the environment, but some, very unfortunately passed away under the hurried insulation scheme)-: Thanks for all the music and years of service though. Long live MUSIC, especially LIVE (-: Politician by Jack Bruce and Rory G is an awesome example (-;
Big Pete was ripped back then. I suppose dancing like a lunatic is great exercise. They went hard back in the day.
1:15 sliding in to pickup a fallen mic stand, the roadies are just as high energy and passionate as the band itself... that's dedication!
impeccable show!
Perfect body! 😱
The songs midnight oil make mean somthing even me (typical 7 year old) knows!
From Paris after the fabulous concert @2019!
thank you Midnight oil:
True humanists
True punks
True Humans!
Wow what an Aussie classic👌
What an insane performance. ROCK N ROLL!!!🤘
Legends !! Thank you
One of their more underrated songs probably. Always a fave for me
The first Midnight Oil song I ever heard. I was 12 or 13 at the time. I'm now 51 and currently sitting by the Brisbane River watching live versions of it on YT. Same electrifying feeling! If I had to name a favourite song, this is probably it.
@Josie 4 remember when my cousin recorded it onto a cassette about 1985
@Mick Guy Was it the first time you heard this band? I found it a transformational experience. I still have the album! Played it last year on a record player I was gifted. Problem is you cant jump around on wooden floors without it skipping!
My teenage hero worship band...I'm 52 now...
51... and same.
Absolute genius! No one like Peter before or after. And checkout the speaker stack for that tight concert at the beach, friggin amazing! Sorry i missed it in person.
Brendan Farthing that’s ok
All white crowd. Bliss.
it was not an All White crowd or anything of the sort. sorry to wreck your Himmler fantasies. it was bliss and Wanda belongs to the Gweagal of the Dharawal nation
Look at that crowd go!
Thank you
Oh Wanda..the place that once had beautiful sand dunes :(
Hell yes!!! No tubbers and NO DAMN CELL PHONES!!! FULL BLOWN EXERCISE! Thats all you need.
Peter is such a weird guy
I don't wanna be the one.

Amazing, Pete's dancing, Wow. Them were the days!!!!
Amazing live performance of this in the 1984 movie thats showing

Bruno Gibbanov damn straight
Could not agree more......the times have changed.....I don't like it any more than you do....
i was there
Where are all the old farts whingeing on Youtube? Only here.
This video needs a donkey walking across the stage mid song.
They probably had it in mind, but scraped the idea due to the danger posed to the animal by peter's dancing.
Laugh My Donkey Off
