News From Nowhere - Spearmint

He hoped it would be perfect

We’d overcome obsession

With greed and growth and ownership

He thought it could be heaven

He dreamed of a utopia

A fair and equal future

The realists has had their chance

It’s time now for the dreamer

And all the honest people say…

We’re running out of water

They take it and they sell it even in a drought

This is the news from nowhere

We know we’re running out

What will happen when people can’t afford the water?

Just like oil…

He hoped it would be perfect

We’d overcome obsessions

With greed and growth and ownership

He thought it could be heaven

And all the honest people say…

Nestle don’t own the water

Like they don’t own the air

This is the news from nowhere

This future is unequal, this future’s unfair

What will happen when people can’t afford the water?
