I'm telling you to explain

Cause now you're playing my game

If you don't do what I say

I'm gonna throw you

In the river, someday

See me floating down the river

That's where my body does lie

It sure was a cold September

With blood on everybody's mind

See my body on the shoreline

My thoughts are spilling in the stream

Picking strings all together

But everybody knows their scene

What did they put in the water

That we're drinking every night?

What did they do to the music man

When they tried to silence him that night?

Can you see it in the stars now

That you ain't actin' right

Your mind's been poisoned by the weather

The people and all of those lies

Don't listen to the wind blow

Cause it ain't being very kind

Follow the path of all the others

So they can have their justice tonight

What did they put in the water

That we're drinking every night?

What did they do to the music man

When they tried to silence him that night?

What did they put in the water that night

Cause he's lying here dead on cold ice

It don't matter what he had to say

Because they already cut him down today

It don't matter what he had to say

Because they already cut him down today

What did they put in the water

That we're drinking every night?

What did they do to the music man

When they tried to silence him that night?

What did they put in the water

That we're drinking every night?

What did they do to the music man

When they tried to silence him that night?

When they tried to silence him that night
