Water - Eric Burdon

This world is not for me

I’ll make a new one, wait and see

Hopelessness has seized the land

I will not beg, I will demand

I will not give up

And one day soon

The truth will spill

Into your sitting room

Water, water, water

To drink, to put down the fire

Water, water, water

The truth, to shame the liar

This world is not what it seems

Behind these eyes, the curse of dreams

Will your God forgive you, then?

Or will mine take his revenge?

Water, water, water

To drink, to put down the fire

Water, water, water

The truth, to shame the liar

Water, water, water

To drink, to put down the fire

Water, water, water

Like these teardrops from my eyes

The enemy does not know who the enemy is

Water, water, water

To drink, to put down the fire

Water, water, water

The truth, to shame the liar

Water, water, water

To drink, to put down the fire

Water, water, water

Like these teardrops from my eyes

The truth, to shame the liar

The enemy does not know who the enemy is

Water, water, water

Water, water, water

Water, water, water
