      Song: Poison In The Well

    • (music: Dennis Drew, words: Natalie Merchant)

      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.
