Doug Barr & the Blast - Too Far From the Water

Too far from the water. Too far from the well
I told you. I told you. I told you. Wake up. Ring that bell
They'll hear it. Come running. By then, we best be gone
Too far from the water. We waited too long

Don't you remember remember not so long ago
When those widow walls fell, row after row
One brick less in the wall and then two and then three
They danced in the streets to the sweet fragrance of victory

Too far from the water. Too far from the well
I told you. I told you. I told you. Wake up. Ring that bell
They'll hear it. Come running. By then, we best be gone
Too far from the water. We waited too long

Corporate banisters and flow charts and bottom lines
They had lots of room built in for protesters carrying signs
Long walks and sweet talks and road blocks it's business as usual
Should have stopped buying and crying and made something beautiful

Oil patches. Back scratches. Tee offs. Sweet deals on the green
Counting their bonuses feet up in stretch limousines
Hoping and praying. Carousing and driving and drinking
Here lies what's left of our masterpiece. What were we thinking.

Too far from the water. Too far from the well
I told you. I told you. I told you. Wake up from your spell
They'll hear it. Come running. By then, we best be gone
Too far from the water. We waited too long

Too far from the water. We waited too long
Too far from the water. We waited too long
