Before the Flood Unwoman

Before the Flood - Unwoman
This city sucks the blood of the young
To feed the rich and greedy
Then the young learn to look down in disgust
At the bodies of the needy

I did not ask to be born a citizen of your land
I did not ask to need to be fed by your charitable hand

One last rain before the flood
(rising up all around us)
One last flood before the water pulls us all under
And there's no Atlantis to escape to
No future to create, now
But now we see your wars
For what they are

I am not a lone oracle
We all know the ship's going down
But for all I know you've got a lifeboat
It's just your poor soldiers who'll drown

I did not ask to fight for the rights of the rulers of this land
I did not ask to die by your enemy's hand

One last rain (etc.)
And if there is a life boat on board
You'd better believe we will take it
We will seize everything
As you look on in the wake
Your money won't buy back lives
From the ones you tried to take
