Written by：Dennis Drew/Merchant Natalie/Peter Asher

Tell me
告诉我
What's gone wrong
究竟出了什么差错
I tilt my head there under the faucet
我低头站在水龙头下
When I turn it on
当我把它打开
Dry as paper
干涩如纸
Call the neighbors
叫来邻居
Who's to blame for what's going on
这一切究竟是谁的过错
In the dark without a clue I'm just the same as you
黑暗中毫无头绪 我与你同样困惑
O they tell us there's poison in the well
哦 他们告诉我们井水有毒
That someone's been a bit untidy
说有人稍显疏忽
And there's been a small spill
不过是小小的泄漏
Not a lot
没多少
No just a drop
不，只是一滴而已
There you are mistaken you know you are
看吧 你搞错了 你心知肚明
I wonder
我疑惑着
Just how long
究竟多久了
They knew our well was poisoned
他们深知我们的水源早已被污染
But they let us just drink on
却依然放任我们继续饮用
O they tell us there's poison in the well
哦 他们告诉我们井水有毒
That someone's been a bit untidy
说有人稍显疏忽
And there's been a small spill
不过是小小的泄漏
And all that it amounts to
而他们所轻描淡写的后果
Is a tear in a salted sea
不过是咸海中的一滴泪
That someone's been a bit untidy
说有人稍显疏忽
They'll have it cleaned up in a week
一周内就能清理完毕
But the week is over
可一周早已过去
And now it's grown into years since I was told that
如今，数年已逝，自从他们告诉我
I should be calm there's nothing to fear
我该保持平静，无需担忧
Here
在这里
But I drank that water for years my wife and my children
可我和我的妻儿，饮用那水已数年
So tell me
所以，请告诉我
Where to now
如今，我们该何去何从
If your fight for a bearable life
如果你为可承受的生活而抗争
Can be fought
这场战斗
And lost in your backyard
竟在家园中溃败
O don't tell us there's poison in the well
哦 别告诉我们井水有毒
That someone's been a bit untidy
说有人稍显疏忽
That there's been a small spill
只是发生了小小的泄漏
And all that it amounts to
而他们所轻描淡写的后果
Is a tear in a salted sea
不过是咸海中的一滴泪
That someone's been a bit untidy
说有人稍显疏忽
They'll have it cleaned up in a week
一周内就能清理完毕
