Don't Drink the Water - Live At Piedmont Park, Atlanta, GA - September 2007

Come out, come out, no use in hiding
Come out, come out, can you not see
Theres no place here, what were you expecting?
No 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 to 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 this you say, your fathers spirit still lives in this place?
Well, I will silence you
Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving
Dont miss your boat, it's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes, I will call this home

Well 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
You must move on or i will bury you
Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
Well I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
And 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
And I live with my greed in me
I live with no mercy
And I live with my frenzy feet
I live with my hatred
And I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion
I don't need anyone but me

Don't drink the water
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

Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water

Thank you very much
Strange thing is a sweat this much
In the winter time too
Thank all again so much for coming out here
Hanging out and everything
I specially wanna thank also The Allman Brothers
You know
The world is upside down and crazy
But I just tell you is such an honor to share stage with those men
Indeed, yes it is
