1.    The lines of my earth,        so brittle, unfertile and  ready  to die
2.   It should be our time, this fertile youth's black soil is ready for rain

      I need a drink but the well has gone dry
the harvest is nigh, but the well has gone dry

    And we in the habit of       saying the same things all over again
  And they in the habit of       saying the same things all over again

          G              C
  for the money we shall make
about the money we shall make
