Lyrics: -
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
