Like stacks and stacks of rats on rafts Clutchin' anything we can Like stacks and stacks of rats on rafts Weight of the world crushin' our backs Tooth for a tooth Eye for an eye You know it's the truth And this is why Poisoned water poisons the mind Backed in the corner Drinkin' Poisoned Water Payin' for the sins of our fore-fathers Who've beaten and cheated and raped our mother Ever since gettin' kicked out of the garden Can you see? Are you blind? There's no more teeth And this is why Poisoned water poisons the mind Poisoned water poisons the mind Poisoned water poisons the mind
