Someone said, drink the water
But I will drink the wine
Someone said, take a poor man
Rich don't have a dime
Go fool yourselves if you will
I just haven't got the time
Yes, you can drink the water
But I will drink the wine

Someone gave me some small flowers
I held it in my hand
Looked at them for several hours
I didn't understand
Go fool yourselves if you will
You can hold out your hand
I'll give you 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 gonna drink the wine
I'm gonna take my time
And believe in a world that is mine
Someone gave me flowers
I held it in my hand
Looked at them for many hours
Didn't understand
Go and fool yourselves if you will
You can hold out your hand
I'll give you 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
