Adder
The serpent in it's posture, is draining life from me
There is water at the bottom of the sea
Beneath the plastic islands, and white chemical stream
I asked for water and they gave me gasoline
They said gasoline's expensive and water's often free
I asked for water and they gave me gasoline
I asked for water and they gave me gasoline
Asked for a drink, they gave me turpentine
They put the spike into the wells and turned their money green
I asked for water and they gave me gasoline
If I were a bird a bull would step on me
He'd twist my nose and break up all my wings
The only thing left over would be the little song I sing
If I were a bull a butcher I would see
Like an animal that's carved before he's free
But if I were a butcher, my apron would be clean
An adder wrapped it's neck around me
So that I will see the bad things that he sees
And when I'm too much like him, that's when he will eat me
