Don't drink the water

Estas letras são de uma música de Dave Matthews Band, com o nome do artigo. É sobre o apartheid, a perseguição dos "americanos nativos" e aplica-se a todas as situações em que se chega a um local e, ignorando todos os seres que já lá habitam, se chama a esse local "casa" e aos nativos, "estranhos".

Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here...
What were you expecting?
Not room for both!
Just room for me...
So you will lay your arms down,
Yes I will call this home!
Away away!
You have been banished,
Your land is gone
And given me!
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home!
What's this you say,
You feel a right to remain?
Then stay and I will bury you!
What's that you say
Your father's spirit still lives in this place?
But I will silence you!
Here's the hitch,
Your horse is leaving,
Don't miss your boat!
It's leaving now
And as you go
I will spread my wings!
Yes I will call this home!
I have no time to justify to you,
Fool you're blind, move aside for me.
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you!
Now as I rest my feet by this fire,
Those hands once warmed here
I have retired them,
I can breathe my own air,
I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home!
'Cause you're all dead now
I live with my justice,
I live with my greedy need!...
I live with no mercy,
I live with my frenzied feeding!
I live with my hatred,
I live with my jealousy!
I live with the notion,
That I don't need anyone but me!
Don't drink the water,
Don't drink the water,
There's blood in the water
Don't drink the water!
