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 |
