Intro

Someone said, drink the water,

But I will drink the wine.

/maj7

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.

/maj7

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.

Sometimes I'm very, very lonely,

There's only me to care.

And when I'm very, very lonely,

I want someone to share,

I'm going to drink the wine,

I'm gonna take my time,

 And believe in a world that is mine.

Someone gave me flowers,

Held them in my hand.

/maj7

Looked at them for many hours,

Didn't understand.

 Go on and 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,

 And I will take the land,

 I will drink the wine.
