Lyrics

TITLE: The Well has Run Dry

VERSE:
Who said there's riches for the taking?
So you take and you take 'til the backs of the folks are breaking
Who said "I am the greater man
to take the folks out of the fire into the frying pan"

CHORUS:
Oh, the well has run dry
The river paved over
The low hanging fruit has been plucked to the bone
Don't bother to holler
They won't hear your voice
Find your comfort in going alone

VERSE:
Rolling along that ribbon of highway
I see oil in them thar hills I'll get it my way
And who said you've got to drill and drill
Take America the beautiful and score a kill

CHORUS:
Oh, the well has run dry
The river paved over
The low hanging fruit has been plucked to the bone
Don't bother to holler
They won't hear your voice
Find your comfort in going alone

VERSE:
Who said you are a patriot?
Speak against us one more time and you'll get shot
You're on a very special list
So you'll have to prove to us you're not a terrorist

CHORUS:
Oh, the well has run dry
The river paved over
The low hanging fruit has been plucked to the bone
Don't bother to holler
They won't hear your voice
Find your comfort in going alone

VERSE:
You know real heroes never die
They plant the seeds of Freedom growing to the sky
You know you sing a lonely song
Just sing and sing until the day we sing along

CHORUS:
Oh, the well has run dry
The river paved over
The low hanging fruit has been plucked to the bone
Don't bother to holler
They won't hear your voice
Find your comfort in going alone
