High and Dry
Can't drink oil, can't eat gold
The only real precious asset H2O
We demand more every day, but the supply stays the same
Growing ever more polluted and unsafe
The thirsty few, just grew and grew
It will be half the world
In a decade or two
It could sustain us all, if supply was equal
Not hoarded, wasted, tainted
Thrown away on meat, poisoned by industry
Our sources eroded to the point that we all dry up and die
With only one percent, of water on earth safe to drink
What does the future hold? What do you think?
With the tide flowing high, with undrinkable brine
Even as glaciers melt, our dirty hand's been dealt
High and Dry
