Adder

An adder wrapped it's neck around me
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
