Tell me what's gone wrong. I tilt my head there, under the faucet, but

when

I turn it on -- dry as paper. Call the neighbors. Who's to blame for

what's

going on? In the dark without a clue I'm just the same as you.

O, they tell us there's poison in the well, that someone's been a bit

untidy

and there's been a small spill. Not a lot, no, just a drop. But there

you are

mistaken, you know you are. I wonder just how long they knew our well

was

poisoned but they let us just drink on.

O, they tell us there's poison in the well, that someone's been a bit

untidy

and there's been a small spill. All that it amounts to is a tear in a

salted

sea. Someone's been a bit untidy, they'll have it cleaned up in a

week. But

the week is over and now it's grown into years since I was told that I

should

be calm, there's nothing to fear here. But I drank that water for

years, my

wife and my children.

Tell me, where to now, if your fight for a bearable life can be fought

and

lost in you backyard? O, don't tell us there's poison in the well,

that

someone's been a bit untidy, that there's been a small spill. All that

it

amounts to is a tear in a salted sea. Someone's been a bit untidy,

they'll

have it cleaned up in a week.
