Not Waving But Drowning Songtext

He sits and says he's sick and tired of the argumentHe's heard them all and it makes no change when the money's spentAnd all his life he's had to watch the way he's wentNo less in need no less deceived by the violenceShe stands and says let my man goLet them all go freeBut the diamond's talkAnd fools gold is boughtWhere the market's freeThe sticks come downThe bombs go offThe world is guiltyShe holds no powerJust a love of truthFor her own countryI'm not waving I'm drowningI've come too far out hereI'm not waving I'm drowningAnd there's no way you can hearI was too far out all of my lifeI'm not waving but drowningFor everyone whose life is run by their daily breadAnother one holds a loaded gun at someone's headAnd we stuck fast and our petty fears are already deadWhile division rules and tradition's rolesWe are all misleadI'm not waving I'm drowningI've come too far out hereI'm not waving I'm drowningAnd there's no way you can hearI was too far out all of my lifeI'm not waving but drowningI'm not waving I'm drowningI've come too far out hereI'm not waving I'm drowningAnd there's no way oyu can hearI was too far out all of my lifeI'm not waving but drowning
