Lyric Poison In The Well

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.
