Don't Drink The Water Lyrics

This a religion
No, this a drag
That man over there is smoking sweet cigarettes
Hey look at that fag !

I had a dream
I saw you swim
Sink to your grave
Down to Davy Jone's locker
Under the waves
Don't say " Thank God for simple truths"

Take me to your leader
Take me for a ride
The shutters were never open
The day I used to hide
All of the things
I never knew
I should have said
When you looked like Frida Kahlo
Curled up in bed
Don't say " Thank God for simple truths "
Don't drink the water, baby
Don't drink the water, baby

So much emotion, these eyes a strange kind of blue
Deep as the ocean, they named a sea after you
Don't say " Thank God for simple truths "

Don't drink the water, baby [Repeat: x4]

A song that advises to chill out.

A very hippie-feel, wich makes me totally chill out whenever I hear it.

@OldSkool this song is a political song that calls people to think for themselves and not drink (be fooled by, manipulated by etc,) lies of policticians and economiic leader. it also a call to resist what is going when the situation calls for it.

don't drink the water is a metaphor "don't believe what you hear and see and then follow blinding. people in power say what they think you want to hear and seldom do anything you want them to do. so this song is a wakeup call foR People to think and act the way they see best.
