10,000 Maniacs - Poison In The Well слова песни
Tell me what`s gone wrong. I tilt my head thereUnder the faucetBut 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. O, they tell us there`s poison in the well, that someone`s been a bit untidy and there`s been a small spill. Not a lot, no, just a drop. But 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. O, they tell us there`s poison in the well, that someone`s been a bit untidy and there`s been a small spill. All that it amounts to is a tear in a salted sea. 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. Tell me, where to now, if your fight for a bearable life can be fought and lost in you backyard? O, don`t tell us there`s poison 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. Someone`s been a bit untidy, they`ll have it cleaned up in a week.
