Poison the Well Lyrics

Come on, man!
I'm not the problem, well
I'm not trying to push you around, well
Poison the well, you're enemies of the city
Took your money, and threw their own damn parties

I'm not trying
To push you around, well
To push you around, well
To push you around, well
Now these Jamaicans, they are trying to kill us
Never found out what our cure is, but it sure sounds bad for business

To push you around, well
To push you around, well
I'm not trying
To push you around

Whoa, whoa

There's a place the money says where to spend it
And, just like that, you get thrown back in their pockets
Poison the well, you're enemies of sea, ah
At the city you can keep this traffic, because
I'm not the one to push you around, ah
To push you around, come on
To put you in my pocket

I'm not trying
To push you around, well
To push you around, well
To push you around, well

I love this song. Reminds me somewhat of the "Lonesome Crowded West". The new LP sounds very promising.

Is this about during the plague. The Jews were blamed for cuasing it by poising the wells.

I enjoyed it. Isaac sounds like he's enjoying it. I don't care about anything else.

Fight the power people, the real power, spit the rind out your mouth, ahhh you’ll just loose interest in a Nano second somewhere in the internet. I guess our well has been poisoned.
