Dave Matthews Band - Don't Drink The Water Lyrics

I picture Col. Kurtz from _Apocalypse Now_ singing these lyrics.

This is us, our species. If we won't change, we're going down. It's quite possible we'll still go down, even if we do change. As of February 2020, this remains my favorite Dave Matthews Band song. I love it because it is so brutually honest, and mostly our species lies to ourselves, very unfortunately.

1997!!!!!!

One of the greatest songs of all time!

*laughs nsrvously in Lakota*

Like I'm disappointed that Dave Matthews Band didn't make it in Rock-'n'-roll Hall! He got robbed!

Good song,,, dont drink water poison.. 😆😆😆

Prolific Song

Nobody rides a chandelir like he does

a great porn video brought me here

One of the best videos made and directed by Dean Karr.

This song is the reason I found Dave Matthews...and I now hate the song. It turns my mood sideways, for me it's not healthy. Not saying it's a bad song but for me, It leads to depressive feelings and violent thoughts. I know that's the point, but there is nothing I can do to change the past, and I'm not responsible for it.

Here in 2019

Stupid song, stupid video.

🇮🇹

I think Florence and the Machine should cover this song

We played this in social studies but we c ikr tho watch the video I see why now

My world history teacher brought me here.

At 3:32 that's Alanis Morissette singing background vocals.... nails it...

Hauntingly true. And sad.

Magic in a bottle.

I can't honestly think of many artists as underrated as Dave Matthews. Literally listen to the show he did with Tim Reynolds at Radio city and its clear the dude isn't fucking human and basically the best live performer who ever lived.

The Ganges River

This song still gives me goosebumps...all these years later.

КОСОВО ЈЕ СРБИЈА

Haha bartlett class

U.S history teacher showed us this video when we were learning about Christopher Columbus

This is my favorite hate song, everytime I hear it I feel like yelling at someone and punching them in the face... there's blood in the water

I'm literally only looking up this song 'cause I have questions on this song in history, and I have it for homework.

My history teacher showed us this song!

SAMEEEE

sadly this content is from all times

I have mapuche blood. Unlike other tribes, mine distrusted foreigners because they knew how they betrayed the Inca. Convinced they could win, my ancestors sacrificed hundreds of lives if it resulted in the death of a spaniard or the destruction of their cities.


For better or worse, they couldn't hold the technological race and were eventually absorbed by my other ancestors, the chileans, in the late 1800s. This song gives me very mixed feelings, but at least the color of my skin shows that in my country, we are not all dead now.

This must've been when they were dating! This is so disturbing to watch and listen to!

Deep, sad and all to true. Karma , thoes whom have so selfishly taken will be taken, taken and taken!

my crackhead history teacher played this for us in class today

Very interesting video and music . It's rare.

Sadly more applicable now than ever.

The sped up version live is so much better. one of my favorite live DMB songs

I love Tom Hanks' vocals during that final part.

This is awesome at 1.25 and 1.5 speed.

david you are of the other planet exorcis me, my dream is play with the band how you, thank you

Can't get enough of this freekin song, any version

A horse can be no room for party

If this video came out today the Dems would kill DMB

This music video and song blew me away big time when I was around 8 or 9 years of age

Dave Mathews says he is Native American !! Lolol , bro stop

Remake the video for this song, Dave. It's fucking terrible. Let me know if you need some insight - I could do 100000x better from my basement.

Such a powerful song.. What a stupid fucking video.

Check out the live versions, they go all out!!

This songs is dedicated to Belle Delphine STD bath water victim.

Was gonna comment this

LOL! Dave swinging from a chandelier

Serivitlll

I shoved a cross of my oenis I feel free to drink what you feel for mtanuswaterfreeforus daddyo

Hillary Clinton

Wow I am learning hallow

Nknowyoushokhilliryshandaftdritouchedsqurl

I can’t believe this is only 4 minutes long! It seems twice as long from how epic it is!

I get to go to the biodome

My Mom is a Mary

My theme song while playing Civilization games. Ironically while playing the Iroquois or Sioux. LOL.

St paulmnusa

I think my parents were the Hitler's my brother Ricky Schmidt June fourth1972

He was lucky to pick up such a prodigy bass player. The entire band is fucking amazing.

I love the section where Alanis Morissette is singing in the backing vocals.

I did not realise that was Alanis Morissete doing the back up vocals...simply fkn amazing

Alanis Morissette voice is so powerful!!

Song has a powerful message

This should be the anthem for Flint, Michigan.

Dave Matthews is South African, write a song about white genocide in South Africa.

I drink the water. Water is good, leftist liberal policy is bad.

My US history teacher showed us this one day in middle school I am 20 years old now. Damn the time flies. It scared the shit out of me at first!

Fun song. Good collaboration, too.

i heard this the other day in a casino and thought it was brand new...also i remembered creed

"I can breathe my own air, and I can sleep more soundly, upon these poor souls, I'll build heaven and call it HOOOOOOOME"
I know this is a sad song about the poor treatment of indigenous people but damn Dave sounds like an angel there

That's the irony. Others call them "white devils", but they call themselves angels.

See how many weve killed in the name of.... In the name of...

I LOVE THIS SONG GREATNESS AT ITS BEST

x 2 speed to DRAGONFORCE

I wonder if they tried ayahuasca down there.

My ancestors are native and white i am native and white I thank God even through all the bloodshed He brought the Gospel of Jesus and Creator the Word of God to my ancestors by my ancestors thats the one good thing that came out of this and Some Native American tribes had visions of Creator or Jesus Christ/ Yeshua Hamashiach beforehand and there are stories.

Putting this song in a project about persecutions in history.

*They put something in it, to make you forget.*

He looks like a jackass up there on that chandelier, just like every other bully in history hiding atop his riches, afraid to come down and connect with the human beings they trample. Well done.

"Don't follow them","don't believe the hype". Don't believe everything you hear. It's based on pop culture. Do your own research. Stop listening to the people trying to control you. That's what "the water" really means.

Our blood comes from water and you think why

That's where he got that song from was the case of Elisa Lam

Cortez is proud

I tried living as the natives of america did and IT SUCKED! Western innovation is a wonderful and terrible thing at the same time...

Only good song by DMB. Fuckin G at the end on the drums.
