Don't Drink The Water

Something got in the river, well they, they found the source
Just last evening they ain’t heard no more
I want some answers 'fore I’m leaving here today
Don’t drink the water, boy, no matter what they say
Oh, but the man on the stand ain’t said nothing
And he keeps talking, oh just keeps talking
Lord, won’t you look at them guilty eyes
Don’t drink the water, something just ain’t right
With these sons of bitches, well, it’s always something
Land around us, it’s all been poisoned
No way to say it, we in a sorry state
Don’t drink the water, boy, no it just ain’t safe
They started blasting and that, that brung the dust
They skinned the mountains, then come the floods
Now nobody sleeps, nobody sleeps on a rainy night
Don’t drink the water, boys, no don’t believe their lies
'Cause up and down this valley, every town you see
They’re all dealing with the same damn thing
Somebody tell me, where do we go from here?
Don’t drink the water, no don’t you dare
Now folks gettin' sick, I’m talkin' women and children
Ask the man on the stand what he thinks killed 'em
He’ll say «Act of God,» oh, act of God!
Say «Don't drink the water, son, there’s been an act of God»
So that man on the stand, well he’s still talking
No one’s listening but everybody’s watching
I swear he just might not make it home tonight
If I hear him say «Don't drink the water» just one more time
I said, don’t drink the water, don’t drink the water
