You can take a horse to the water
but you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
A friend of mine in so much misery
Some people sail through life, he has struck a reef
Said 'hey man let's go out and get some wisdom'
First he turned on me, then turned off his nervous system
You take a horse to water but
you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can have it all layed/staked out in front
of you but it still don't make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Someone I love gotta problem
Some people thirst for truth, he would like a drink
Say man this could turn out to be risky
He said "Everything's ok" as he downed another bottle of whiskey
A preacher out there warned me about Satan
Could be that he knows him
He acts like he's possessed
I said 'Hey man let's hear about God realisation
For a change'
he said "We ain't got time for that
First you must hear the evils of fornication"
