Take This Dirty Water

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Spare the rod don't spare the foolIf you take the breaks you're givenYou get to make the rulesTake a chance and make it fastIf you break some bones on landingYou know you're built to lastFight the tide and find the shoreIf the gift horse isn't smilingJust learn to ride some moreCommon sense is a rule of thumbIf the suckers throw a red flagBlow 'em all to Kingdom ComeAnd take this dirty waterRunning like a riverIn and out of everythingWe helped to put togetherTake this dirty waterHelp to keep it cleanGet back to the wellspringPurify the streamSearch out days that never endIf it's only for the chanceTo feel just like a child againTell a lie that speaks the truthIf the heart becomes a prisonerYour soul will turn you looseAnd take this dirty waterRunning like a riverIn and out of everythingWe helped to put togetherTake this dirty waterHelp to keep it cleanGet back to the wellsplringPurify the streamAnd take this dirty waterRunning like a riverIn and out of everythingWe helped to put togetherTake this dirty waterHelp to keep it cleanGet back to the wellsplringPurify the stream
