They got fresh water where I come from
And if they let you in you can have some
It's no bother, you can have some of mine
They put chemicals in to control your brain
But don't mind those, still tastes the same
Everybody drinks it, so it must be fine
They got fresh air, they say it's clean
If there's something in there, well it can't be seen
So everybody breathes it, it's just a little bit of fog
They got big ol' towers that scrape the sky
You can climb for hours til you're way up high
Oh the view would be brilliant if it wasn't for the smog
The water that they give you is poison
It washes all the worries from your mind
It makes you see reason
It snuffs out the treasonous kind
There's puddles round the drain
But there's poison in the rain
Drink any other water you can find
The children will tell you they are thirsty
But you must not let them drink
Or by the time your children have grown
They will have forgotten they were ever allowed to think!
They got fresh water where I come from
It keeps you in line, it makes your brain numb
But the children are dying, they'll have to drink some
They make you crazy
And then they make you like it
I'm getting hazy
I never felt nothing quite like it
They make your mind shrink
Then they convince you that you're guilty
And the more that you drink
The more it makes you feel thirsty
The water from the creek tastes fresher
They don't put anything in there
Pure H2O, and it seems to flow from nowhere
Drinking it will free you
Just don't let them see you
They'll hang you for that, beware
