[Verse 1]
Good news for beautiful people
Watching the world go by
Make love in the middle of a war zone
Hey, you're never gonna die
[Verse 2]
Don't rock the boat
Keep your head down
Just another fool in the crowd
Everybody knows you can be a winner
Come on and shout it out loud, alright!
[Verse 3]
On the fat of the land, I've been living
It's only a matter of time
Sooner or later, you'll open your eyes
And you'll return to the scene of the crime
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dig deep at the top of the heap
Now you've bitten off the hand that feeds you
Got nothin' but your soul to sell
You got nothin'
[Chorus]
When the river runs dry
You will return to the scene of the crime
When the river runs dry
Salvation will rain on you one more time
When the river runs dry
Good news for beautiful people
Watching the world go by
Make love in the middle of a war zone
Hey, you're never gonna die
[Verse 2]
Don't rock the boat
Keep your head down
Just another fool in the crowd
Everybody knows you can be a winner
Come on and shout it out loud, alright!
[Verse 3]
On the fat of the land, I've been living
It's only a matter of time
Sooner or later, you'll open your eyes
And you'll return to the scene of the crime
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dig deep at the top of the heap
Now you've bitten off the hand that feeds you
Got nothin' but your soul to sell
You got nothin'
[Chorus]
When the river runs dry
You will return to the scene of the crime
When the river runs dry
Salvation will rain on you one more time
When the river runs dry
