Don't Drink The Water Lyrics - Cocker - Joe Cocker

Come out come out 

No use in hiding 

Come now come now 

Can you not see? 

There's no place here 

What were you expecting 

Not room for both 

Just room for me 

So you will lay your arms down 

Yes I will call this home 

Away away 

You have been banished 

Your land is gone 

And given me 

And here I will spread my wings 

Yes I will call this home 

What's this you say 

You feel a right to remain 

Then stay and I will bury you 

What's that you say 

Your father's spirit still lives in this place 

I will silence you 

Here's the hitch 

Your horse is leaving 

Don't miss your boat 

It's leaving now 

And as you go I will spread my wings 

Yes I will call this home 

I have no time to justify to you 

Fool you're blind, move aside for me 

All I can say to you my new neighbor 

Is you must move on or I will bury you 

Now as I rest my feet by this fire 

Those hands once warmed here 

I have retired them 

I can breathe my own air 

I can sleep more soundly 

Upon these poor souls 

I'll build heaven and call it home 

'Cause you're all dead now 

I live with my justice 

I live with my greedy need 

I live with no mercy 

I live with my frenzied feeding 

I live with my hatred 

I live with my jealousy 

I live with the notion 

That I don't need anyone but me 

Don't drink the water 

There's blood in the water
