Think Before You Drink

Lyrics for Think Before You Drink

As a child I had no knowledge No way to understand My father kept me sheltered He would hold me in his hand You know I was protected With no threat from anywhere I drank my mother's milk And I didn't have a care But it didn't last forever I was soon sent off to school Where the teachers gave me poison And I drank it like a fool We took pride in our past What our leaders said they fought for To justify the murders Of the children in the war They said that mother nature Couldn't give us what we need And that explained the factories, and pollution in the stream They gave us all the facts Explaining economic war And like a fool I listened But I won't listen anymore So before the final slaughter Please stop and think You can lead a horse to water But you cannot make it drink So before the final slaughter Please stop and think You can lead a horse to water But you cannot make it drink
