[00:00:00] Poison In The Well - 10,000 Maniacs

[00:00:01] Written by：Dennis Drew/Merchant Natalie/Peter Asher

[00:00:13] Tell me

[00:00:16] What's gone wrong

[00:00:20] I tilt my head there under the faucet

[00:00:24] When I turn it on

[00:00:26] Dry as paper

[00:00:29] Call the neighbors

[00:00:33] Who's to blame for what's going on

[00:00:40] In the dark without a clue I'm just the same as you

[00:00:46] O they tell us there's poison in the well

[00:00:52] That someone's been a bit untidy

[00:00:57] And there's been a small spill

[00:01:02] Not a lot

[00:01:05] No just a drop

[00:01:09] There you are mistaken you know you are

[00:01:15] I wonder

[00:01:18] Just how long

[00:01:22] They knew our well was poisoned

[00:01:25] But they let us just drink on

[00:01:28] O they tell us there's poison in the well

[00:01:34] That someone's been a bit untidy

[00:01:39] And there's been a small spill

[00:01:42] And all that it amounts to

[00:01:44] Is a tear in a salted sea

[00:01:47] That someone's been a bit untidy

[00:01:52] They'll have it cleaned up in a week

[00:01:55] But the week is over

[00:01:58] And now it's grown into years since I was told that

[00:02:05] I should be calm there's nothing to fear

[00:02:11] Here

[00:02:13] But I drank that water for years my wife and my children

[00:02:19] So tell me

[00:02:23] Where to now

[00:02:26] If your fight for a bearable life

[00:02:29] Can be fought

[00:02:30] And lost in your backyard

[00:02:33] O don't tell us there's poison in the well

[00:02:39] That someone's been a bit untidy

[00:02:44] That there's been a small spill

[00:02:47] And all that it amounts to

[00:02:49] Is a tear in a salted sea

[00:02:52] That someone's been a bit untidy

[00:02:57] They'll have it cleaned up in a week
