Don’t drink the water
It won’t bring relief
It will only numb your mind
And send you off to sleep
It won’t be there when you’re thirsty
Deserts all you see
Vulture’s gonna pick your bones
And eat up your beliefs
Don’t drink the water
You know I’ve, I’ve grown tired of its taste
You can smell the human waste
Don’t drink the water
Don’t drink the water
It can’t satisfy
It will only blow you up and shut your eyes
And it won’t be there when you need it
Suffering all alone
When it has turned to vapour
You must stand alone
Don’t drink the watеr
You know I’ve grown tired of its taste
You can smеll human waste
Don’t drink the water
Don’t drink the water, drink the wine
Oh, don’t drink the water
You know you can’t survive
Take a look around you
You can see it in their eyes
It only wants to pick you up
Hold you in its hand
Then it’s gonna drink you up
Laugh when you can’t stand
Don’t drink the water
You know I’ve grown tired of its taste
You can smell the human waste
Don’t drink the water
Don’t drink the water
Don’t drink the water
Don’t drink the water
