Letra de Poison in the well

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.
