From the Afountains in the mountains comes the Ewater running cool and clear and Ablue.
And it Acomes down from the hills and it Egoes down to the towns and passes Athrough.
When it Dgets down to the cities then the water turns into a dirty Agray.
It's Apoisoned and polluted by the Epeople as it goes along its Away.
Chorus
DDon't go near the water children see the fish all dead upon the Ashore.
DDon't go near the water 'cause the Awater isn't Ewater anyAmore.
Spoken
I took my boy fishin' to my old favorite fishin' hole.
I had caught many a fish out of that deep clear water
From the time I was a boy like him.
I said: "I Dthink I Agot a nibble son." A
"Me too" he said.
Then he said: "Daddy if we catch a fish can we eat it?"
I said: "Well there was a time son.
This water's bad now and I might not be safe to eat the fish but there was a time."
Verse
There Awas a time the air was clean and Eyou could see forever cross the Aplains.
The Awind was sweet as honey and no Eone had ever heard of acid Arain.
We're Dtorturin' the earth and pourin' every kind of evil in the Asea.
We Aviolated nature and our Echildren have to pay the penalAty.
Chorus
DDon't go near the water children see the fish all dead upon the Ashore.
DDon't go near the water 'cause the Awater isn't Ewater anyAmore.
DDon't go near the water children see the fish all dead upon the Ashore.
DDon't go near the water 'cause the Awater isn't Ewater anyAmore.
