Story behind the song
Amazing how a few people with money can ruin the world. like the koch brothers who put money into misinformation and buying politicans. These 2 have caused great harm to society at large.
Lyrics
one year of water in California
Walk across the river like jesus christ
The land it shall fall and the seas they shall rise
One year of water in California
but the oil flows and the pipelines run
Across the farm fields to the land of the sun
feeding some dark thing way deep inside
and no matter how much its never satisfied
Ive seen the eagle the staff and the bear
The king and the pauper both going nowhere
And broken down warriors lost on that road
where the victims were numbered and their stories untold
And all true believers stuck on the word
In a place where its hollow and never been heard
etched out in stoned and then carved out in blood
Planted the cross and the sword in the flood
The mighty rio grande all dried like a creek
the fish they cant swim while the basements all leak
And the one thats the cause he sits with a smile
His pockets all gold his lies his denial
