( Music Dennis Drewwords Natalie Merchant )**lf****lf****lf****lf**tell Me What''s Gone Wrong.**lf**i Tilt My Head There, Under The Faucet, But When I Turn It On -- Dry As Paper.**lf**call The Neighbors.**lf**who''s To Blame For What''s Going On**lf**in The Dark Without A Clue I''m Just The Same As You.**lf****lf**o, They Tell Us There''s Poison In The Well,**lf**that Someone''s Been A Bit Untidy And There''s Been A Small Spill.**lf**not A Lot, No, Just A Drop.**lf**but There You Are Mistaken, You Know You Are.**lf**i Wonder Just How Long They Knew Our Well Was Poisoned But They Let Us Just Drink On.**lf****lf**o, They Tell Us There''s Poison In The Well,**lf**that Someone''s Been A Bit Untidy And There''s Been A Small Spill.**lf**all That It Amounts To Is A Tear In A Salted Sea.**lf**someone''s Been A Bit Untidy, They''ll Have It Cleaned Up In A Week.**lf**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.**lf**but I Drank That Water For Years, My Wife And My Children.**lf****lf**tell Me, Where To Now, If Your Fight For A Bearable Life Can Be Fought And Lost In You Backyard**lf****lf**o, Don''t Tell Us There''s Poison In The Well,**lf**that Someone''s Been A Bit Untidy, That There''s Been A Small Spill.**lf**all That It Amounts To Is A Tear In A Salted Sea.**lf**someone''s Been A Bit Untidy, They''ll Have It Cleaned Up In A Week.
