Don't Drink The Water

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
Not 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 this you say
You feel a right to remain
Then stay
And I will bury you

What's that you say
Your father's spirit
Still lives in this place
I will silence you

Here is 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
I have retired them

I can breathe my own air
I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home

'Cause you're all dead now

I live with my justice
I live with my greedy need
I live with no mercy
I live with my frenzied feeding

I live with my hatred
I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me

Don't drink the water, oh
Don't drink the water
There's 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

There's blood in the water
