Somethin' in the Water

歌詞

Joe's got the Union Carbide Blues Diggin' ditches since '62 West Paducah, "City on the Go" Tired of fingers growin' out of his elbows Down in Building C-4 double-naught Sonsabitches thought they'd never get caught Guzzlin' Golden Pond whiskey at work Beatin' them drums down into the dirt And puttin' somethin' in the water Somethin' weird in the water Killin' your sisters and your brothers Somethin' in the cold well water So while you're sneakin' gold out of hydrogen bombs Platin' pistol grips and carryin' on Your boss is doin' the exact same thing Suckin' atoms out of your sewage drain, and that Dense fog of uranium dust Can't hide them leaky buckets of rust The ugly truth'll put you in the ground So rise up and burn the pumphouse down Somethin' in the water Somethin' in your daughter Killin' your sisters and your brothers Somethin' in the cold well water Well Joe's a hero of the Cold War, man Died with a broken witchin' wand in his hand Got to keep this wet county dry as a bone Y'know some stories are best left untold Told, told, told, told, TOLD! But Michael Carneal, born to kill at will Mollycoddled on curdled mother's milk Smuggles his muzzle into Heath High School And shot his friends holding hands 'round the flagpole Must be somethin' in the water Somethin' weird in your mothers Killin' your sisters and your brothers Somethin' in the cold well water Somethin' in the water Somethin' in your daughter Blame your greedy grandfathers For puttin' somethin' in the cold well water
