OIL ON THE BEACH

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
