Fresh Water Lyrics

They got fresh water where I come from

And if they let you in you can have some

It's no bother, you can have some of mine

They put chemicals in to control your brain

But don't mind those, still tastes the same

Everybody drinks it, so it must be fine

They got fresh air, they say it's clean

If there's something in there, well it can't be seen

So everybody breathes it, it's just a little bit of fog

They got big ol' towers that scrape the sky

You can climb for hours til you're way up high

Oh the view would be brilliant if it wasn't for the smog

The water that they give you is poison

It washes all the worries from your mind

It makes you see reason

It snuffs out the treasonous kind

There's puddles round the drain

But there's poison in the rain

Drink any other water you can find

The children will tell you they are thirsty

But you must not let them drink

Or by the time your children have grown

They will have forgotten they were ever allowed to think!

They got fresh water where I come from

It keeps you in line, it makes your brain numb

But the children are dying, they'll have to drink some

They make you crazy

And then they make you like it

I'm getting hazy

I never felt nothing quite like it

They make your mind shrink

Then they convince you that you're guilty

And the more that you drink

The more it makes you feel thirsty

The water from the creek tastes fresher

They don't put anything in there

Pure H2O, and it seems to flow from nowhere

Drinking it will free you

Just don't let them see you

They'll hang you for that, beware
