I used to think that I could drink and
water came for free,
that was silly, silly me
water
water is not free.

It's leased by Industry and now we have to pay,
I see the day will come when the next war's fought
with a water gun.

How strange to think that what we drink,
that stuff that falls down from the sky,
is something now we have to buy.

Very strange indeed.
