Don't Drink the Water by Dave Mathews Band

I currently am not a Dave Matthews fan, but love how riled up the message in this song can get you when you really, really listen! Sometimes it's all in the lyrics...A love song, I think not!!! "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, I can sleep more soundly, Upon these poor souls, I'll build heaven and call it my home..."


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!!!
Say you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this my 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 my home
What's this you say
You feel the right to remain...?
Then stay and I will bury you!
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury 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!!!
What this you say 
You feel the right to remain 
Then stay and 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
I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it my home
'Cause you're all dead now

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
