Think Before You Drink

As a child I had no knowledge
 No way to understand
 My father kept me sheltered
 He would hold me in his hands
 You know I was protected
 With no threat from anywhere
 I drank my mothers milk
 I didn't have a care
 But it didn't last forever
 I was soon sent off to school
 Where the teachers gave me poison
 And I drank it like a fool
 We took pride in our past
 What our leaders said they'd fight for
 To justify the murders
 Of the children in the war
 Is said that our mother nature
 Couldn't give us what we need
 And that explained the factories
 And the pollution in the street
 They gave us all the facts
 Explaining economic war
 And like a fool I listened
 But I won't listen anymore
 So before the final slaughter
 Please, stop and think
 You can lead a horse to the water
 But you cannot make him drink
 So before the final slaughter
 Please, stop and think
 You can lead a horse to the water
 But you cannot make him drink
