Don't Drink the Water

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
