Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
'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?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
'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?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum
