We're up to our chests in last years debt and armed 
 to the teeth with spite and grief. It's the fine art of original 
 sin, fighting these wars we knew we'd never win. 
    We're searching for oil, we're searching for gold 
 We're searching for god, or so I'm told.   
 We're up to our throats in next years hope and armed to 
 the nines with malice inside, our heads and our hearts drowning 
 in false starts, standing in a flood trying to find a spark.   
 We're searching for oil, we're searching for gold 
 We're searching for god, or so I'm told. 
 We're searching for solace, we search for peace 
 We want everything that's out of reach.   
 The rains they came and you know they never stopped 
 knee deep in soil yet still missing the plot. The lies you told 
 are know the cards you fold. Pull the knife from our heart it's 
 dripping with gold.   
 We're searching for oil, we're searching for gold 
 We're searching for god, or so I'm told. 
 We're searching for solace, we search for peace 
 We want everything that's out of reach.   
 All these stories won't go untold, something to 
 remember when our hearts run out of gold.
