had - üzenet

Egy pár napja, talán épp tegnap elõtt este, ahogy a legutóbbi postot pötyögtem beugrott egy rég nem hallott nóta. A szinapszisok ingerátvivõ felületeinek furcsa játéka, hogy az egész zene és a refrén tisztán és világosan csendült fel.
A Dave Matthews Band régi kedvencem, de jó ideje nem hallgattam az amerikai folk-rock csapat egyetelen számát sem, mert nem volt hangulatom. Tegnap óta ezen változtattam, és újra felfedeztem magamnak a hegedû és basszusgitár zenéjének közös szépségét.
A dal, ami pedig beugrott, anno szerelmes számként élt a fejemben. Most elolvastam a szövegét... Nem igazán kedves ajánlat. Viszont legalább értem, miért ugrott be pár napja.

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
