Letra '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.
