	Story Behind the Song Spontaneously generated lyrics by Steve in Nov'91. Slightly refined in a second take in Feb'92. Bass, 2nd, and 3rd guitars added later. Lyrics The love rode all the nations, it changed in the wink of an eye The marchers marched in quickly, there's nowhere left to hide The man from the east said Allah, we will stand our ground There's nothing for you to hope for, but peace on the open ground And stand on the warfront, stand on the beach The oil spills desperately, but, they're almost within our reach The zealous chief said you will never take us down The oil's spilling you will never take us down There's something out there calling, there's something there, its greed Another Viet Nam, and another oil company's need You won't change the future, you won't change the past There's nothing there to ask for, just a last request Nothing, no, nothing (spoken: Yea, don't you know, there's a sun, and its rising in the east) They got control, they got the power, they got everything we need But the sun's shinning down and there's nothing left but the oil company's greed They got the power to hold us down to never let us breath Soldier's plight in this saveless world is just another damn side of greed Yea yea, yea yea, yea yea yea yea Yea yea, yea yea, yea yea yea yea (spoken: Yea, can you hear 'em breathing in the night? Oh Lord, can't you feel that sun its beating down. Yea, doesn't the government pay you enough? Another town man there's nothing left there but a bunch of leaches that were there before. Don't you think its time to move on? No, man we just got to finish this wow...) No no no, no no no, no there's nothing left to loose Another prisoner pushes the knife in, another man will loose Hold on tightly now, listen while I call There's another pointless death, and another man will fall Yea yea, yea yea, yea yea yea yea Yea.......
