Dirty Water

I hadn't planned for this
thought I'd washed my hands of it
dirty water all down my drain
dirty water never cleaned nothing

I was raised by poor men
broken from paying for pointless war and original sin
dirty water all through my veins
dirty water never changed a thing, child

Walk me down, down to the river
lead me down, I am blind
hold me down, down in that river
lift me up before I die
lift me up, wipe my eyes

I'm thinking mean, mean things
sleepwalking, talking like a madman stuck on a bad, bad dream
dirty water all in my brain
dirty water and it's running like a freight train

Walk me down, down to the river
lead me down, I am blind
hold me down, down in that river
lift me up before I die
lift me up, wipe my eyes

I hadn't planned for this
thought I'd washed my hands of it
