Water On the Mind
Water On The Mind
Dig a hole inside the desert mine
One that reaches far beneath
Bring me water from its depths
To drink from the bottom up
Down at the farthest reaches
Bottom water is the best
Tasting cold and mineralized
Arsenic and cyanide contaminate
More than ninety percent of Earths water wells
Slaves know this fact as well
Run some tests before you bring well water here
The slaves are thirsty all the time
Countless troubles keep them occupied.
Give them the water first to drink
Let them have something else to think about
Water on the mind
If they survive all is well
With water from the mine
