Imagine swimming
in the water
The sun is shining down
You're approaching a small island
You don't want to drown
Climb up
to higher ground
In a moment you
recover
So you start to leave
But you falter in the water
Oil on the beach
Two tankers
sinking down
Exxon Valdez, BP
pipeline
C.E.O.'s have soared
Record profits hold us hostage
Forged upon the sword
Arms trading
peace for war
This is so you
will remember
Oil on the beach
Has a very strange effect on
Everything you eat
No more oil
on the beach
No more oil on the beach
