Don't Drink the Water by DM at Farm Aid 2010


One of my faves but in this version he skips one of my favorite versus...

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
Not 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 me
And here I will spread my wings 
Yes I will call this home 
What's this you say 
You feel a right to remain 
Then stay and I will bury you 
What's that you say 
Your father's spirit still lives in this place 
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 
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 
I will bury you

This land is your land...
this land is my land
this land was made for....

I live with my justice 
I live with my greedy need 
I live with no mercy 
I live with my frenzied feeding 
I live with my hatred 
I live with my jealousy 
I live with the notion 
That I don't need anyone but me 
Don't drink the water 
There's blood in the water
