legendary shack shakers - somethin' in the water lyrics

Loading...

joe’s got the union carbide blues.
diggin’ ditches since ’62.
west paducah, “city on the glow.”
baby fingers growin’ out of his elbows.

down in building c-4 double nought,
sonsab-tches thought they’d never get caught
guzzlin’ golden pond whiskey at work,
beatin’ them drums down into the dirt.

and puttin’ somethin’ in the water.
somethin’ weird in the water.
killin’ your sisters and your brothers.
somethin’ in the cold well water.

(so while you’re) sneakin’ gold out of hydrogen bombs,
platin’ pistol grips and carryin’ on,
your boss is doin’ the exact same thing…
suckin’ atoms out of your sewage drain.

(and that) dense fog of uranium dust
can’t hide them leaky buckets of rust.
the ugly truth’ll put you in the ground,
so rise up and burn the pumphouse down.

(they said) “joe’s a hero of the cold war, man.
died with a broken witchin’ wand in his hand.
got to keep this wet county dry as a bone.
y’know some stories are best left untold.”

but michael carneal, born to kill at will,
mollycoddled on curdled mother’s milk,
smuggles his muzzle into heath high school
and shot his friends holding hands ’round the flagpole.

must be somethin’ in the water,
somethin’ weird in your mothers.
blame your greedy grandfathers,
for puttin’ somethin’ in the cold well water.
