Lyrics
There used to be water here
And why it's gone now is quite not clear
They told us pump and bottle wouldn't hurt
They said it wouldn't hurt a bit
We used to come fishing here
We'd cast our lines right from this pier
But now it's crumbling and dry
Why?
They said they'd pump our economy
Pump our employment needs
But they only pumped us dry
They said in twenty years
There'd still be lakes and rivers here
And they spun our heads with dollar signs and lies
We've been spin dried
We've been spin dried
There used to be gators here
Ferocious reptiles we'd love and fear
They said extracting from the Aquifer
Wouldn't mess it up a bit
We used to go boating here
A family picnic every year
And now it's struggling for life
Why?
They said they'd pump our economy
Pump our employment needs
But they only pumped us dry
They said in twenty years
There'd still be lakes and rivers here
And they spun our heads with dollar signs and lies
We've been spin dried
We've been spin dried
They said they'd pump our economy
Pump our employment needs
But they only pumped us dry
They said in twenty years
There'd still be lakes and rivers here
And they spun our heads with dollar signs and lies
We've been spin dried
We've been spin dried
There used to be water here---
