Cool Water |
| Day by day |
| Whistle while you work |
| Our backs are breaking |
| Up from hollow earth |
| From end to end |
| The noise begins |
| In the human battle stations |
| And the big one’s coming in |
| Work, work, work, work |
| Work 'til holes are filled |
| Work, work, work, work |
| Bags of bone and skin |
| Lovers hold hands |
| Tossing their heads |
| Tangled in hair |
| Tied to earth |
| With skin and glue |
| But their skin is the same as yours |
| Coming in for the world to see |
| They can sit at the table, too |
| The same blood as you and me |
| Speak very softly |
| Hold my hand |
| Someone is sleeping |
| In my bed |
| Priests pass by |
| Worms crawl in |
| One dreams to be |
| One dream for all |
| His skin is the same as yours |
| Is he not made the same as you? |
| And some have fallen down |
| And blood spilled on the ground |
| Work, work, work |
| 'Til his life is done |
| The old man |
| Is at our door |
| And he’s knocking |
| Knocking |
| As his neighbors weep |
| Each day repeats |
| Are we nothing in your eyes? |
| Someone answer, someone answer |
| This rusted garden gate |
| Can barely even stand |
| Their work is over now |
| And rest will be at hand |
| Is their skin not the same as yours? |
| Can they sit at the table to drink cool water? |
| Cool water |
| And his lungs are filled with rain |
| And the water’s rushing in |
