Lyrics
Don't Drink The Water
Don't drink the water if you don't want to get high
They say it's clean, but that's like saying it's dry
It's full of traces of Prozac and Coke
Everything we ingest, everything that we smoke
They run it through them filters, but they can't get it out
It's so off kilter when it comes from the spout
Chlorine, flouride, nothing to trust
Pcbs, asbestos, and rust
Hormones in my aftershave, poison in my soap
I'm so toxic and it's a wonder how I cope
Can't eat the fruit, and we can barely breathe the air
Turns out I'm wearing toxic underwear
They run it through them filters, but they can't get it out
It's so off kilter when it comes from the spout
We're under assault, so many kids are autistic
It's time to revolt, so let's be realistic
(Don't Drink the water, don't drink the water)
As long as there's greed and money to be made
They gonna keep pollutin' so they keep getting paid
(Don't drink the water, don't drink the water)
They want to keep us blind, and keep us in the dark
We ought to have more fear of that predator shark
It's full of chemicals, smells like a swimming pool
It might give you cancer, but your dentist think it's cool
It's full of radiation, and chemical waste
My biggest hesitation is the taste
The only way to stop 'em is if we stop coppin
All that shit they been making, all them drugs we been taking
All the stuff we don't need to satisfy their greed
Bigger cars, fat cigars, shiny rings, and things
Little kids and teens with dreams of being kings and queens
But, what if things don't change?
Polluting the lakes, the rivers and the streams
Without the water you wouldn't have the trees
They run it through them filters, but they can't get it out
It's so off kilter when it comes from the spout
Chlorine, flouride, nothing to trust
Pcbs, asbestos, and rust
Don't drink the water, don't drink the water
As long as there's greed and money to be made
They gonna keep pollutin' so they keep getting paid
Don't drink the water, don't drink the water
They want to keep us blind, and keep us in the dark
We ought to have more fear of that predator shark
It used to be free, now it costs you a fee, 'cause it's all about making that cash
It used to be free, now it costs you a fee, 'cause it's all about making that cash
It used to be free, now it costs you a fee, 'cause it's all about making that cash
It used to be free, now it costs you a fee, 'cause it's all about making that cash
Don't drink the water, don't drink the water
As long as there's greed and money to be made
They gonna keep pollutin so they keep getting paid
Don't drink the water, don't drink the water
They want to keep us blind, and keep us in the dark
We ought to have more fear of that predator shark
Don't drink the water, don't drink the water
As long as there's greed and money to be made
They gonna keep pollutin' so they keep getting paid
Don't drink the water, don't drink the water
They want to keep us blind, and keep us in the dark
We ought to have more fear of that predator shark
Don't drink the water, don't drink the water
As long as there's greed and money to be made
They gonna keep pollutin' so they keep getting paid
Don't drink the water, don't drink the water
They want to keep us blind, and keep us in the dark
We ought to have more fear of that predator shark
