10,000 Maniacs - Poison In The Well
Tell me what's gone wrong. I tilt my head there, under the faucet, butwhenI turn it on -- dry as paper. Call the neighbors. Who's to blame forwhat'sgoing 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 bituntidyand there's been a small spill. Not a lot, no, just a drop. But thereyou aremistaken, you know you are. I wonder just how long they knew our wellwaspoisoned but they let us just drink on.O, they tell us there's poison in the well, that someone's been a bituntidyand there's been a small spill. All that it amounts to is a tear in asaltedsea. Someone's been a bit untidy, they'll have it cleaned up in aweek. Butthe week is over and now it's grown into years since I was told that Ishouldbe calm, there's nothing to fear here. But I drank that water foryears, mywife and my children.Tell me, where to now, if your fight for a bearable life can be foughtandlost in you backyard? O, don't tell us there's poison in the well,thatsomeone's been a bit untidy, that there's been a small spill. All thatitamounts to is a tear in a salted sea. Someone's been a bit untidy,they'llhave it cleaned up in a week.
