Waterboy - Live

What do you say to the child

Whose god is in the T.V.

And what do you say to the man

Who blames the world on T.V.

They don’t even know how to sing my song

But they won’t even try it With me, with me, with me Who is standing over playing like

The teacher

Harnessing the learned

Who try but can’t leave her

I want to beg the liars to lay down

Their sirens

That play like the angels

To my deep desire

Free my son

Let him walk right through the rain

Free my son

Make him waterboy

Free my son

There he stands down on the shore

Free my son

What do you say to the man

Who treats her like a mother?

And what do you say to the man

Who treats him like a father?

Come and see my heart.

Come inside

And learn?

Come and see my soul, it’s like yours,

I say it’s just like yours?

Who is making over

Idolizing princes banishing the dreamers with

Barbed-wire fences

And telling all the children who run to Her feet

That they have no vision

And love’s all diseased

Free my son
