Poison the Well Lyrics

Come on, man
I'm not the problem
Well, I'm not the one tryin' to push you around
So poison the well, our enemies are thirsty
They took our money and threw their own damn party, get it out

I'm not tryin' to push you around
Well, to push you around
Well, to push you around
The medicine makers, they are tryin' to kill us
Yeah, they know what a cure is
But they bet that's bad for business, get it out

Gimme, gimme, gimme some sorta lift
So pass me that feather down, down
Gimme, gimme, gimme something better than this
This bad taste in my mouth

Uh uh

To push you around, man
To push you around, well
I'm not tryin' to push you around, well
Whoever prints the money says where you spend it
And just like magic, it's right back in their pocket
So poison their well, your enemies are thirsty
Yeah, I'd hate to see you gettin' too distracted
'Cause I'm not the one tryin' to push you around
Oh, spit that rind out your mouth
Let's get that taste out your mouth

Gimme, gimme, gimme some sorta lift
So pass me that feather down, down
Gimme, gimme, gimme something better than this
This bad taste in my mouth

I'm not the one tryin' to push you around
Well, get that taste out your mouth
Now spit that rind out your mouth
Now get it out
