Rhett Robertson - Ocean Dollar Lyrics

How many dollars ride in your oceans
How many children cried when you called
How many children die in your oceans
I guess to me it should mean nothing at all
Cause I'm afraid of what tomorrow would bring outside these walls

Move back, step forward once again
Hold that pose where you stab them in the end
See the concrete as your only friend
No go on home, we'll see you back before it's 10

Another day, another dollar for your automated mother
Going on about the rent, not to mention there's the water
That they never saw as potent, or as clean enough to drink it
If it didn't show up labeled it was probably never sacred
Now whatever your intentions I don't even want to hear it
Pass the mic, shut your mouth, clean it out with this new liquid
No I can't say all what's in it, but the FDA approves it
With those kind of credentials it's probably safe to drink it

How many dollars ride in your oceans
How many papers signed before the fall
The waves will arrive with our oceans
But by then there will be no one to call

So now we've changed the world
Plastic men and toy girls
In the end we'll count it loss
When we see the real cost
Righteous men, steady hands
Can we mend what has been lost
I just hope it's not for not

Because the past has taught us to love with our hearts
With our fingers and our toes and our hands and our souls
And it might seem dumb, but the show must go on
The show must go on
Even if we don't see the credits roll, what about our children born and grown
Don't they deserve a home
Free from contamination's and poisonous vixens in our couches and our soap
Can't we find something that's whole like the tree trunk that has grown on the edge of our concrete home
And our concrete sky and this searing light

How many children ride in your oceans
How many will survive after we're gone
The waves will arrive with our oceans
I just hope we leave something worthy of our God
