《Pearl Diver》歌词

[00:00:18] David roth pearl diver

[00:00:19] I was living very happy

[00:00:24] When they came to me

[00:00:29] Offered riches for the pearls

[00:00:33] Way down in the sea

[00:00:37] So I became a pearl diver

[00:00:43] Held my breath as I went down

[00:00:47] Caught my foot between two rocks

[00:00:51] And drowned

[00:00:56] Now I am sitting under water

[00:01:01] Watching things fall in

[00:01:06] Sinking with the weight of knowledge

[00:01:11] Greed

[00:01:11] Desire and sin

[00:01:25] Now I am eternal witness

[00:01:30] To the tide that man has turned

[00:01:35] Pity he will never know

[00:01:39] The things that I have learned

[00:01:43] The submarines go underneath

[00:01:49] The battleships above

[00:01:50] And the divers keep on coming

[00:01:57] Putting prices on their love

[00:02:02] And I can taste the toxic waters

[00:02:07] Hear every splash of waste

[00:02:12] I see how man has used the sea

[00:02:16] Diluting his distaste

[00:02:30] The fishes tell me they would like to

[00:02:36] Throw a hook up on the land

[00:02:40] Snag a man and drag him under

[00:02:45] Put him in a can

[00:02:49] Watch him fight to breathe the water

[00:02:55] Buy him in a store

[00:02:59] Cut him up to be their dinner

[00:03:04] Throw the bones on shore

[00:03:08] Dump their garbage overground

[00:03:13] Invade the air with greed

[00:03:18] Exploit the wind and use the land

[00:03:22] For things that they don't need

[00:03:46] I was living very happy

[00:03:51] Until they came to me

[00:03:56] Offered riches for the pearls

[00:04:01] Way down in the sea

[00:04:05] My dream is to be cremated

[00:04:09] Not swaying with the tide

[00:04:17] But because I wanted more

[00:04:33] Than god had given me I died
