lirik lagu poison in the well – 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.
