Lyrics

Don't drink the water from here
 ♪
 Come out, come out, no use in hiding
 Come now, come now, can you not see?
 ♪
 There's 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 the right to remain
 Then stay, and I will bury you
 ♪
 What's that you say?
 Your father's spirit still lives in this place
 Well, I will silence you
 ♪
 Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving
 ♪
 Don't 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
 Is 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
 And I live with my justice
 And I live with my greedy need
 Or I live with no mercy
 And I live with my frenzied feeding
 I live with my hatred
 And I live with my jealousy
 Or I live with the notion
 That 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
 I'm bleeding
 Don't drink the water
 Don't drink the water
 There's blood in the water
 Don't drink the water
 There's blood in the water
 Bleeding
