Something In the Water

There must be something in the water
That's driving folk insane
With the punching and the kicking
And calling people names

We used to love each other
We used to get along
One way or another
Something went terribly wrong

There must be something in the water
That makes us act this way
Certainly no sane person
Would think this is okay

It's strange to think a civil society
Like ours can't get along
There must be something in the water
That's brought us to this point

It may be from the chlorine/fluoride chemicals…or just the chlorine as fluoride is supposed to make folks docile and does nothing to help strengthen our teeth…it is what they put in rat poison for Petes sake! A very good thought provoking write Mike!~Che :)
