In a dry world in a barren world Water people need water In the desert night around the dying light Fitful sleepers dream of water And peaceful tribes rule their lives By water And seething hordes raise their swords And k** for water In a world of drought Water is lord of all In a driven world in a plastic world Oil we drill for oil All the meek and the mean choose their dream machines Line up for oil we shoot up oil And nation states stake their fate On the price of oil While their obedient sons prime their guns And k** for oil In a rundown world
Oil is lord of all Oh there's gotta be more than this The drudging dance the obscene kiss Oh there's gotta be some way out A smile a shout In a hurting world in a hating world Love we reach for love In the restless heat of sweat-stained sheets We strain for love cry out for love In a child's look an open book And every page is love And pushed to shove we k** for love We cannot k** for love We cannot k** for love We cannot k** love In a desert world In a driven world In a doubting world Love is lord of all Love is lord of all
