Billions of people, one loaf of bread
We've run out of petrol, the Gulf Stream's dead
Last tree on the planet, last fish in the sea
The last glass of water, well give it to me
Trillions of chopsticks are used every day
Not counting the cartons of snide takeaway
Where has it all come from? Where has it all gone?
If money can't buy it, then something's gone wrong
Can't sleep at night
Lie in a sweat
Don't prickle your conscience
You'll get your feet wet
Roll over, why don't ya?
Roll over, why don't ya?
Roll over, why don't ya?
Roll over, why don't ya?
Every man for himself becomes the war cry
We'll take to the bunkers and shut out the sky
Let's face it, we've had it, we've rotted it up
We've blathered the planet and squandered the stuff
Old school religions are running the show
Aristocrats and politicos are having their go
It's not what you are, it's who that you know
The ship doesn't sail if the wind doesn't blow
Can't sleep at night
You've left it too late
Let go of the wheel
And open the gate
Roll over, why don't ya?
Roll over, why don't ya?
Roll over, why don't ya?
Roll over, why don't ya?

You've screwed up the ocean, you've blighted the land
You've kyboshed everything that's passed through your hands
You've flooded the valleys, polluted the sky
Poisoned the rivers and you've let people die
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
ย
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy
Roll over
