LYRICS
Think Before You Drink

As a child I had no knowledge
no way to understand
My father kept me sheltered, he would hold me in his hand
you know i was protected with no threat from anywhere
I drank my mother’s milk and I didn’t have a care
But it didn’t last forever, I was soon sent off to school
Where the teachers gave me poison and I drank it like a fool
We took pride in our past, what our leaders said they fought for
To justify the murders of the children in the war
They said that mother nature couldn’t give us what we need
And that explains the factories and pollution in the stream
They gave us all the facts explaining economic war
And like a fool, I listened, but I won’t listen anymore
So before the final slaughter please stop and think …
You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink
So before the final slaughter please stop and think…
You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink
