Obscured

Midas's touch turned everything to gold

Only water could save his children, we're told

So when water's gold what do you do

Take a sip and you're for sale too

Corporate kills and bottled life and rub salt just to hurt

Inflate irrigation and pay the farmer dirt

No murderer if the judge sees green

The victim is the killer, threw her water out to sea

We flail our arms and gasp for a cough

Smoke obscured and the flame won't stop

Our voices grow fainter with each shout
