IT’s MUD (Tom Dyer – Half the World Publishing)
Everybody say that it’s the water
Flowin pure and sweet
A perpetual flood
Twice a day something else will happen
Tide is going out
Baby It’s Mud
Capitol Lake built for reflection
Ain’t nobody swimming cuz the snails have won
Knock the stinkin’ dam down no more problem
No reflection now cuz baby baby
It’s Mud
Habitat ain’t nothin baby
Money is just where it’s at
And business is really going down
With a little more sea rise
Just another foot or two
Olympia will have
No downtown
Everybody say that it’s the water
Always been that way
Feel it in our blood
Don’t need to dig too deep to get to toxins
One shovel-full – uh
Everybody say that it’s the water
Nothing gonna change
Feel it in our blood
Bury head neck deep problems all gone
Tide is coming in now – uh
Baby its mud
