Tell me what's gone wrong? |
|
I tilt my head there, under the faucet when I turn it on |
|
Dry as paper, call the neighbors |
|
Who's to blame for what's going on? |
|
In the dark without a clue I'm just the same as you |
|
Oh, they tell us there's poison here in the well |
|
That someone's been a bit untidy and there's been a small spill |
|
Not a lot, no, just a drop, there you are mistaken you know you are |
|
I wonder just how long they knew our well was poisoned |
|
But they let us just drink on |
|
Oh, they tell us there's here poison in the well |
|
That someone's been a bit untidy that there's been a small spill |
|
And all that it amounts to is a tear in a salted sea |
|
That someone's been a bit untidy they'll have it cleaned up in a week |
|
But the week is over and now it's grown into years |
|
Since, I was told that I should be calm, there's nothing to fear here |
|
But, I drank that water for years, my wife and my children |
|
So, tell me, where to now |
|
If your fight for a bearable life can be fought and lost in your backyard? |
|
Oh, don't tell us there's poison here in the well |
|
That someone's been a bit untidy, that there's been a small spill |
|
All that it amounts to is a tear in a salted sea |
|
That someone's been a bit untidy, they'll have it cleaned up in a week |
