lyrics

If a stranger gave you a vial of poison
Told you drink it down
Would you do it?

If a neighbor told you to poison the water
To kill off your sons and your daughters
Would you do it?
Would you do it for money?

What would you do for money?
What would you do for money?
When you feel the lack
Do they have your back?

If you had a palace in a garden of paradise
And you had chance to nuke all the land
Would we do it?

Would you be the one for pieces of silver
To tell all your friends tomorrow'd be better
Would you do it?

What will we drink when we can’t drink the water?
What will we drink when we can’t drink the water?
Where will we go
When we don’t have a home?
No home

So the man came to our town
He offered us money
And we all lay down, gave him purchase
We begged him to do it

And even now he poisons the water
And even now we're killing our daughters
And if you don't want poison for water
How will they know if you don't say so?
Say so
Say so
