Someone said, drink the water,
but I will drink the wine.
Someone said, take a poor man,
rich don't have a dime.
So fool yourselves if you will,
I just haven't got the time.
If you can drink the water, I will drink the wine.
Someone gave me some small flowers,
I held them in my hand.
I looked at them for several hours,
I didn't understand.
So fool yourselves if you will,
you can hold out your hand,
I'll give back your flowers,
and I will take the land.
And I will drink the wine.
but I will drink the wine.
