Title: Don't Go Near The Water
Lyrics Don't Go Near The WaterDon't go near the water children
See the fish all dead upon the shore
Don't go near the water
Cause the water isn't water anymore
From the fountains in the mountains
Comes the water running cool and clear and blue
And it comes down from the hills
And it goes down to the towns and passes through
When it gets down to the cities
Then the water turns into a dirty grey
Cause it's poisoned and poluted
By the people as it goes along its way
Don't go near the water children
See the fish all dead upon the shore
Don't go near the water
Cause the water isn't water anymore
I was sittin' on the bank of the lake
At home fishin' with my little boy
I said have you got a bite yet son
He said no sir have you daddy
I said I believe I got a nibble
He said daddy if we catch a fish
Can we cook 'em and eat 'em
I said maybe we'd better not son
They say it may not be safe
To eat a fish from this water anymore
Don't go near the water children
See the fish all dead upon the shore
Don't go near the water
Cause the water isn't water anymore
Don't go near the water children
See the fish all dead upon the shore
Don't go near the water
Cause the water isn't water anymore
Don't go near the water children
See the fish all dead upon the shore
Don't go near the water
Cause the water isn't water anymore |
