Tell Me What's Gone Wrong. I Tilt My Head There, Under the Faucet, But 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.
