Big Country - Not Waving But Drowning

He sits and says he’s sick and tired of the argument

He’s heard them all and it makes no change when the money’s spent

And all his life he’s had to watch the way he’s went

No less in need no less deceived by the violence

She stands and says let my man go

Let them all go free

But the diamond’s talk

And fools gold is bought

Where the market’s free

The sticks come down

The bombs go off

The world is guilty

She holds no power

Just a love of truth

For her own country

I’m not waving

I’m drowning

I’ve come too far out here

I’m not waving

I’m drowning

And there’s no way you can hear

I was too far out all of my life

I’m not waving but drowning

For everyone whose life is run by their daily bread

Another one holds a loaded gun at someone’s head

And we stuck fast and our petty fears are already dead

While division rules and tradition’s roles

We are all mislead

I’m not waving

I’m drowning

I’ve come too far out here

I’m not waving

I’m drowning

And there’s no way you can hear

I was too far out all of my life

I’m not waving but drowning

I’m not waving

I’m drowning

I’ve come too far out here

I’m not waving

I’m drowning

And there’s no way you can hear

I was too far out all of my life

I’m not waving but drowning
