Overseas Lyrics


Citizen Fish Overseas


Overseas they say the latest enterprise is doing well
We spread the opportunity to those who had no dreams to sell
Protected by our forces their resources almost cover costs
Our leading brand of helping hand
Will turn a profit from a loss

Here's the global gift we made
From all you gave us yesterday
In blood and sweat it's history's updated trade in misery
Here's our god of fizzy drink
Our popstars and our I.M.F.
Here's the cash to pay for us
To bleed you til there's nothing left

Overseas it's where the money flows
We watch the profits grow
That's all we need to know

Overseas it's where the money flows
We watch the profits grow
That's all we need to know

Overseas they say the water flows in every person's home
And people eat so much they think of us
As merely skin and bone
Mesmerized not by the sky
But daily tales of war and crime
They classify the poor as those
Who can't afford the latest clothes

No pictures here to tap imagination's sympathetic side
The skeletal remains of cultures branded and dehumanized
So take this bleeding whine to drink
Your lack of health from plastic cups
As thirst and hunger search for
Dreamless sleep before the sun comes up

Overseas it's where the water flows
In every person's home
I guess we'll never know

Overseas it's where the water flows
In every person's home
I guess we'll never know
