Lyrics for 'Poison In The Well' by '10000 Maniacs'
( Music: Dennis Drew/words: Natalie Merchant )
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.
