Salt Water

Salt-water surrounded me all my life

From way back in time

I swam for water with my throat dry

The ocean scraped by

Wish you could drown in its solution

On the ocean floor

The chance to have that thirst and never hide

'Cause they drink salt-water

And it goes down through the bloodline

And they drank salt-water

Couldn't tell the truth from the lie

To the sons and daughters

Who  they left deaf, dumb and blind

Do they drink salt-water?

Do they down it like holy wine?

It's not surprising that it goes so

We cut off our nose

In this native bag of dose so

But if you think that's a joke

You might get caught up in that motion

'Cause it looks benign

But when you're desperate, it's holy wine

'Cause they drink salt-water

And it goes down through the bloodline

And they drank salt-water

Couldn't tell the truth from the lie

To the sons and daughters

Who they left deaf, dumb and blind

Do they drink salt-water?

Do they down it like holy wine?

Do they drink salt-water?

Do they start to die on the vine?

Do they drink salt-water?

Do you see that thirst in their eye?

When I hit that bottle

I know the truth from the lie

When I hit that bottle

I know the truth from the lie

I know the truth from the lie

I know the truth from the lie

I know the truth from the lie

I know the truth from the lie

Bum, bum, bum

Bum, bum, bum
