Come out, come out, can you not see There's no place here, what were you expecting? No 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 to 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? Well, 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, You must move on or I will bury you. Now as I rest my feet by this fire Those hands once warmed here, but I have retired them. I can breathe my own air and 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 And I live with my greed in me I live with no mercy And I live with my frenzied feet I live with my hatred And I live with my jealousy I live with the notion that I don't need anyone but me Don't Drink the Water Don't Drink the Water Blood in the water Don't Drink the Water
