Don't Drink the Water

Lyrics

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 

Now as I rest my feet by this fire 
Those hands once warmed here 
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 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
