California gold-rush blues Got you pretty thirsty Where's tank girl when you need her Saliva thick Lump in throat Tongue swelling Neck swollen Can't breathe Drowning Shrinking skin Hallucinations Eyelids crack Tears of blood Leather-purse face Amputated lips Nose withered Eyes trapped We're all exported and exploited Sold sanely cheap Used how the rich see fit Dead in one week Ecosystem crashing All for their mansions Filled with rooms they never use Profit ****** We see oceans through our windows 97 percent 97 percent 3 percent for you and none for us Little boy is drinking bubbles But it ain't champagne It's dead dogs and fetus juice Dog dogs and abuse Where are the wetlands Where are the holy springs Soon we'll all be Atlantis Just another lost city Soon we'll be living In underground caves Like cowards We all want roses in our garden bower But the best heroes Might as well be slaves Global desert Without rain Green turns yellow Here come the earthquakes ****** forest Rest in peace They erected cities In your memory Cartels and shades of grey Vivendi, Veolia Machines with no soul Privatizing blue gold In their corporate quads Woe to WTO The new colonialism Coca Cola 7-Up Sorry but your time is up Destroy everything you touch When it's gone Get up and leave Destroy another planet **** and conquer SLAPPing silly pointless fools Transporting silly tools Shooting all the people's people Got to pull up the roots Bullets through lace curtains Has a ring to it You spineless cruel leaders With your oil rivers Well you've made a rival now World map's changing underground Alternatives are scarce Purity is all but lost Path of least resistance blocked Metamorphosizing clocks Circulation down the train Don't drink the red water Just pray for rain
