Lyrics Don't Drink the Water - Joe Cocker

Don't Drink the Water

Come out, come out, no use in hiding
Come now, come now, can you not see?
There’s no place here, what were you expecting?
No room for both, just room for me So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home
Away, away you have been banished
Your land is gone and given me And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What’s that you say?
You feel the right to remain?
Then stay and I will bury you
What’s that you say?
Your father’s spirit still lives in this place,
Well I will silence you
Here’s the hitch, your horse is leaving,
Don’t miss your boat, it’s leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you’re blind, move aside for me All I can say to you, my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
But I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
And I can sleep more soundly
Upon these pour souls
I’ll build heaven and call it home
'Cause you’re all dead now.
(Alanis)
And I live with my justice
And I live with my greedy need
Oh I live with no mercy
And I live with my frenzied feeding
And I live with my hatred
And I live with my jealousy
Oh I live with the notion
That I don’t need anyone but me
(Dave)
Don’t drink the water
Don’t drink the water
Blood in the water
Don’t drink the water
Don’t drink the water
Don’t drink the water
There’s blood in the water
Don’t drink the water
Blood in the water
You’ll all be dead
