Poison In The Well (LP版) - 10000 Maniacs (一万个疯子)

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

Oh 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

Oh 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

Oh 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
