Lyrics

Let the water come
She's the only one I love
Let the fat man drop
She's the sweetest honey pot
Will they see the sky again?
Who will sing their blues for them?
Let the factories rust
She's the only thing I trust
Let the virus spread
She's the silk lining in my bed
Will they breathe our air again?
Who will sing their blues for them?
When you're feeling moved
You can have your conscience all you want
You can't say I do nothing, yeah
I put it off
Where you gonna go if they come for you?
Will there be someone left to sing your blues?
Where you gonna run when they come for you?
Will there be someone to sing your blues?
