[Intro: Jaz Coleman and Katie Summers]
Trying to go up against the government
It's just... unless the whole country did it, I guess

Now you listen to me...

[Verse 1: Jaz Coleman]
Just enough water for a third of the world
Oil barons running the government
So I'll start a war

[Verse 2: Jaz Coleman]
All votes invalid, use any old lie
Gonna carve up your wealth like pumpkin pie
Only fools won't realise, you won't be told
That empires run on the old black gold

[Chorus: Jaz Coleman]
It's a global abrasion
It's conflagration
United Nations
It's a total invasion

[Verse 3: Jaz Coleman]
Terrify them, complete submission
This is our goal, this is our mission
Destroy your customs, you'll have no say
We'll clothe your women in the western way
[Verse 4: Jaz Coleman]
It's a crusade
A lesson in trade
So all you intellectuals
We're gonna invade

[Chorus: Jaz Coleman]
It's a global abrasion
It's conflagration
United Nations
It's a total invasion
It's a total invasion

[Bridge: Jaz Coleman]
Mexico City
24 million people
Half a litre of water a day

[Verse 5: Jaz Coleman]
The final push, the last battle
Even restored? Man is cattle
We want your oil, we want your land
We'll take your wealth, you'll have much less
We'll change your God to the bitch Goddess

[Chorus: Jaz Coleman]
It's a global abrasion
It's conflagration
United Nations
It's a total invasion
It's a global abrasion
It's conflagration
United Nations
It's a total invasion
