Bedouin Soundclash – Salt Water lyrics

Salt water surrounded me all my life
From way back in time
I smelled the water with my throat dry

The ocean scraped by
Wish you could drown in it's illusion
On the ocean floor
The chance to have that thirst and never hide

Cause they drank salt water
And it goes down through the bloodline
And they drank salt water
Couldn't tell the truth from the lie
To the sons and daughters
Were they left deaf, dumb and blind?
Do they drink salt water?
Do they down it like holy wine?

It's not surprising that it goes so
We cut off our nose
In a state of bragadocia
But if you think that's a joke
You might get caught up in that notion
Cause it looks benign
But when you're desperate it's holy wine

Cause they drank salt water
And it goes down through the bloodline
And they drank salt water
Couldn't tell the truth from the lie
To the sons and daughters
Were they left deaf, dumb and blind?
Do they drink salt water?
Do they down it like holy wine?

Do they drink salt water, do they start to die undefined?
Do they drink salt water, do you see that thirst in their eye?
When I hit that water, I know the truth from the lie
When I hit that water, I will know that truth from the lie

I'll know the truth from the lie
I'll know the truth from the lie
I'll know the truth from the lie
I'll know the truth from the lie
