Throwing stones at the embassy
policeman come and arrested me
Paper at the university
said I was a hero
And the wise old judge that I went before
wouldn't believe what I did it for
Said this is no way to stop the war
But, how the hell would he know

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

Chorus
Over the hills and far away
I'm gonna understand one day
What the other half believe in
if it's real or just deceiving
So until I find that day
I'll go along my way
And I'll look back on my life
and I'll know I lived it right.

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

Chorus
Over the hills and far away
I'm gonna understand one day
What the other half believe in
if it's real or just deceiving
So until I find that day
I'll go along my way
And I'll look back on my life
and I'll know I lived it right.

Over the hills and far away
merrily on my way.

1995 came quickly
crept right up and now it's hit me
Seems the mayor of a busy city
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

Chorus
Over the hills and far away
I'm gonna understand one day
What the other half believe in
if it's real or just deceiving
So until I find that day
I'll go along my way
And I'll look back on my life
and I'll know I lived it right.

Over the hills and far away
merrily on my way.
Over the hills and far away
merrily on my way.
