Blood Thicker Than Oil Lyrics by Dogtooth & Nail

Learning How To Unlearn

2018

I always listened to you when you spoke
Even when I was day dreaming as we sat playing cards
The musty smell of decades ricocheted off of each one
As they were shuffled
Light danced through your hair
I knew from a young age
That there was something special
About being in the presence
Of someone who had loved and lost more than I can count
On my fingers
There are patterns
That they know without looking
{Chorus}
These veins are made of blood not oil
This body is made of water not chemicals
Now I see grandma’s facing guns
Prayers against pepper spray
In a war protecting money
In the face of your violence our voices stand strong 
And which side are you on is not just a song so
WHO DO YOU SERVE
WHO DO YOU PROTECT
Placing profits over people will hurt you in the end
WHO DO YOU SERVE
WHO DO YOU PROTECT
Spill after spill
You are next
{Chorus} (x2)
These veins are made of blood not oil
This body is made of water not chemicals
I remember when the bees were always in her garden
I was surrounded 
Before the water ran out and the word drought spilled out their mouths
Maybe they’ll come back on Sunday
Oh maybe they’ll come back on Sunday
{Chorus} (x4)
These veins are made of blood not oil
This body is made of water not chemicals
