Pearl Diver
I was living very happyWhen they came to meOffered riches for the pearlsWay down in the seaSo I became a pearl diverHeld my breath as I went downCaught my foot between two rocksAnd drownedNow I am sitting under waterWatching things fall inSinking with the weight of knowledgeGreed, desire and sinNow I am eternal witnessTo the tide that man has turnedPity he will never knowThe things that I have learnedThe submarines go underneathThe battleships aboveAnd the divers keep on comingPutting prices on their loveAnd I can taste the toxic watersLetras de cancionesHear every splash of wasteI see how man has used the seaDiluting his distasteThe fishes tell me they would like toThrow a hook up on the landSnag a man and drag him underPut him in a canWatch him fight to breathe the waterBuy him in a storeCut him up to be their dinnerThrow the bones on shoreDump their garbage overgroundInvade the air with greedExploit the wind and use the landFor things that they don't needI was living very happyUntil they came to meOffered riches for the pearlsWay down in the seaMy dream is to be crematedNot swaying with the tideBut because I wanted moreThan God had given me I died From Letras Mania
