Not Waving But Drowning |
| He sits and says he’s sick and tired of the argument |
| He’s heard them all and it makes no change when the money’s spent |
| And all his life he’s had to watch the way he’s went |
| No less in need no less deceived by the violence |
| She stands and says let my man go |
| Let them all go free |
| But the diamond’s talk |
| And fools gold is bought |
| Where the market’s free |
| The sticks come down |
| The bombs go off |
| The world is guilty |
| She holds no power |
| Just a love of truth |
| For her own country |
| I’m not waving I’m drowning |
| I’ve come too far out here |
| I’m not waving I’m drowning |
| And there’s no way you can hear |
| I was too far out all of my life |
| I’m not waving but drowning |
| For everyone whose life is run by their daily bread |
| Another one holds a loaded gun at someone’s head |
| And we stuck fast and our petty fears are already dead |
| While division rules and tradition’s roles |
| We are all mislead |
| I’m not waving I’m drowning |
| I’ve come too far out here |
| I’m not waving I’m drowning |
| And there’s no way you can hear |
| I was too far out all of my life |
| I’m not waving but drowning |
| I’m not waving I’m drowning |
| I’ve come too far out here |
| I’m not waving I’m drowning |
| And there’s no way you can hear |
| I was too far out all of my life |
| I’m not waving but drowning |
