Dirty Water

from Just by The Anarchetypes

/

lyrics

Black tracks across the map,
stick your family down with sticky tack,
Never mind that
Meanwhile dying now across the border
more cannon fodder in the name of law and order
And all you houseproud armchair cowards
still send your sons to the desert for the slaughter
Tell me white man would you send out your daughter
miles every day for dirty water?

Bureaucrats and bullies both
who swear the oath of endless growth
And blame their victims for their sloth
(Are blown out by their overgrowth)
The secret they can never know
is how to win by letting go
and purify that bloody muddy flow
(And purify the seed of hope new life to grow)
Everyone accepts the lies
The moral chains and social ties
and praise the makers of their pain
(and blame the other slaves who play the game)
They say the cost of living is too high
What price you and I?
Someone told me that they sold the sky
(Someone told me that we have to rent out space where we can fly)
