Lyrics

Water Water Everywhere

(Music - M. Novak, Lyrics -M. Novak, C. Webster)

Streams ran clear kissed by the sun
Lakes were full enough for everyone
Man settled where water was near
Lack of it was never a fear

Water provided power and food
The lust for control led to feuds
Enough water another Myth of the West
Water seems free to hell with the rest

Water is needed for food to eat
Not for lawns beneath pampered feet
We bathe daily in scented salt
But the waste of water is not our fault

CHORUS:

Water water everywhere most too salty to drink
Water water everywhere it’s life’s link
Water water everywhere rivers now on fire
Water water everywhere wars fought to acquire



Populations boom and rivers sucked dry
It’s now not enough that falls from the sky
We shove water in the earth to get the dinosaurs
To quench the thirst of the oil whores

A price to be paid we’ve yet to see
At war with our brothers we will all be
New ways needed to expand the supply
Removing sea salt will ally the sky

Conserving what we have is our best bet
How do we get people to change their mindset
Teaching the children to understand the need
Survival depends on the lack of greed
