Saint Shell
Saint Exxon
Saint Chevron:
A New God,
A New Lord,
A New Religion,
Believers Can Afford.
The Old Style Used To Be,
Come To Our Church
If You Thirst For Paradise.
God Is Here;
God Isn’t There;
Heed Our Advice.
The Thought Of God’s Power Being Everywhere,
Was Blaspheme Back Then,
And It’s Not Much Different For Power Today,
As We Contemplate New Sin.
The Lords Of Power Would Have You Believe,
Power Comes From Their Holes In The Ground;
Pay Your Tithe, Beg They Drill,
And Don’t Forget To Bow Down.
As The Wind Blows, And As The Seas Rise,
And As The Sun Comes Shining Through,
Eyes Down, Never Look Around,
And Believe Our Holes Will Save You.

Kabhi Aansuu Bahaate Hai Kabhi Karte Faryaad
Lagta Hai Jaise Ujri Meri Duniya Hue Hum Barbaad

Konsi Aisi Khata Hui Humse Nahi Jaante Hum
Dua Hai Iss Masoom Ko Karde Dukh Se Aazaad

Rahata Hoon Sanam Main Yaha Ab Bhi Tere Liye
Jaan Chaahe Le Le Meri Tu Dil Dhadkega Bas Tere Liye

Tere Haatho Merna Mujhe Manjoor Hai
Duniya Mein Esse Bada Kya Dastoor Hai

Green Grass, Blue Skies
Sick People, Sad Goodbyes
Dark Days, Empty Nights
People Dying, Violent Fights
Frightened Kids, Scared Moms

Divorced Parents, Lost Bonds
Starving Children, Bloodthirsty Thugs
Innocent Victims, Kids With Drugs
Devil Worshippers, Constant Crime
Shot Of A Gun, Nothing Is Fine

Dard Us Ka Hain Dil Be Qarar Hain Hamra
Duniya Kiye Jahain Kiya Rishta Hain Hamara

Us Kay Dard Main Bahla Main Kaisay Khush Raho
Us Kay Chain Main Hi Hain Sakoon Hamara

Woh Sunkar Hoor Ki Taarif Pardese Nikal Aaye
Kaha Phir Muskurakar Husn-E-Zeba Isko Kehte Hain

Ajal Ka Naam Dushman Doosre Maani Mein Leta Hai
Tumhare Chahne Wale Tamanna Isko Kehte Hain

No Fishermen Were Out That Day,
Their Nets And Lines Were Dry,
No Distant Sails Were To Be Seen,
Nor Surfers On The Waves,
Just Wind And Spray, Wild Wind And Spray,
Cold Wind Hard In My Face.

The Wet Sand Lay Impassively
My Footprints Stretched Away,
But The Ocean Covers Everything
All Trace Of Yesterday,
Or The Last Hour, Without A Care,
Just Washes It Away.

Jalte Hue Aab Mein Apni Taqdeer Ko Dhoya Karoge
Mita Ke Bhi Na Mita Paoo Ge Jo Dhaag Duniya Walon Ne Diya Hai

Jo Fasanah Tumney Meri Zindagi Per Likha
Wohi Tera Sab Se Bardha Jurm Ban Gaiya Hai

Wo Boli Mere Bad Kiss Ko Chaho Ge
Mein Bola Shirk-E-Kabeera Gunnah Hain

Wo Boli Kitne Badal Gay Ho Tum
Mein Bola Bahar Hamesha Raha Nahi Karti

Meri Zindagi Mein Aa Kar Tumne Mujhe Jeena Sikha Diya
Is Bhatakte Hue Rahgeer Ko Raasta Dikha Diya,

Masroof Ho Gaya Tha Main Is Duniya Ke Khel Mein
Haath Thaam Kar Tumne Mujhe Apne Aap Se Mila Diya,
