• Dirty Water

I was born inside a tiny room
I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move
My mother cried and held me to her breast
The nurses they all gathered 'round
And one of them she held me down
And washed me in that brown and murky water
In the oceans, in the air
Dirty water everywhere
Dirty water filling up my cup

I caught a fever from the well
and eventually I couldn't tell
the difference between the right and the wrong
and when I asked you for advice
you turned to me and you whispered 'ice'
and cooled me with that cold and dirty water
In the oceans, in the air
Dirty water everywhere
Dirty water filling up my cup
Across the sea, across the land
Every woman, every man
Has come to wash their hands
in dirty water
in dirty water

in dirty water

in dirty water

I withered as they searched for cures
For something old, for something pure
Virtues that I never could express
And finally they called the priest
Who laid me out to rest in peace
Anointed with that dark and dirty water
In the bedrooms, in the towers
in the corridors of power
Dirty water mixing with the best
Served in crystal, served in glass
In the palaces, in the bars
We all know the taste
of dirty water
of dirty water
of dirty water
of dirty water
yeah dirty water
