He sits and says heâs sick and tired of the argument
Heâs heard them all and it makes no change when the moneyâs spent
And all his life heâs had to watch the way heâs 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 diamondâs talk
And fools gold is bought
Where the marketâs 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
Iâm not waving
Iâm drowning
Iâve come too far out here
Iâm not waving
Iâm drowning
And thereâs no way you can hear
I was too far out all of my life
Iâm not waving but drowning
For everyone whose life is run by their daily bread
Another one holds a loaded gun at someoneâs head
And we stuck fast and our petty fears are already dead
While division rules and traditionâs roles
We are all mislead
Iâm not waving
Iâm drowning
Iâve come too far out here
Iâm not waving
Iâm drowning
And thereâs no way you can hear
I was too far out all of my life
Iâm not waving but drowning
Iâm not waving
Iâm drowning
Iâve come too far out here
Iâm not waving
Iâm drowning
And thereâs no way you can hear
I was too far out all of my life
Iâm not waving but drowning
