Review The Song (2)Print the Lyrics
Don't drink the water here...

Come out, come out, no use in hiding.
Come now, come now, can you not see
There's no place here, what were you expecting?
No room for both, just room for me.

So you will lay your arms down,
Yes, I will call this home.

Away, away, you have been banished.
Your land is gone, and given to me.

And here I will spread my wings.
Yes, I will call this home.

What's this you say, you feel a right to remain?
Then stay and I will bury you.

What's that you say, your father's spirit still lives in this place?
Well, I will silence you.

Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving.
Don't miss your boat, it's leaving now.

And as you go I will spread my wings.
Yes, I will call this home.
I have no time to justify to you,
Fool, you're blind, move aside for me.

All I can say to you my new neighbor,
You must move on or I will bury you.

Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here, but I have retired them.
I can breathe my own air and I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls,
I'll build Heaven and call it home.
Cause you're all dead now.

I live with my justice
And I live with my greedy need
I live with no mercy
And I live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
And I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion that I don't need anyone but me

Don't Drink the Water
Don't Drink the Water
Blood in the water
Don't Drink the Water

Review about Don't Drink the Water
Dont drink the water for the trail of tears | Reviewer: D.T. | 1/10/2008
    I feel this song beautifully expresses the horrific story of the Trail of Tears. The forced relocation and genocide of several Native American tribes solely for the benefit of immigrant settlers. It is one of my favorite Dave Matthews songs one that speaks of a tragic event in our history. Something most people would like to forget but should not be forgotten.


    Class Discussion | Reviewer: B. Remington | 11/29/2006

    I use this song to teach middle school students to Analyze,margin note, and think about Government.
