Don’t Drink The Water

Lyrics

Something got in the river, well they, they find 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, here 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 getting sick, talking women and children
 Ask the man on the stand what he thinks killed 'em
 Say act of God, all act of God
 ♪
 Say don't drink the water, son
 It's been an act of God
 ♪
 So that man on the stand, well, he's still talking
 No one's listening, 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
