Here comes the olive branch man He'll press it any way he can He tries so hard to understand Here comes the tired statesman Heavy-lidded, bearded, nowhere left to land He makes the jigsaw fit With a hammer in his hand It's just a drop in the ocean It's just a drop in the ocean It's just a drop in the ocean It's just a drop in the ocean Here comes the nightmare man He's got the numbers, bottom line and slight of hand He's smiling everywhere he can with feeling For every fallen soldier, every grain of sand It's just a drop in the ocean It's just a drop in the ocean It's just a drop in the ocean It's just a drop in the ocean It's just a drop in the ocean You're not a drop in the ocean No, no, no |
