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's in so much misery
Some people sail through life,but he has struck a reef
I said "hey man let's go out and get some wisdom"
But first he turned on me, then he 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 laid / straight out in front
Of you but it still don't make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Someone I love is gotta problem
Some people thirst for truth, but he would like a drink
O said "Hey man, this will turned out to be risky" but first he turned on me then he downed another bottle of whiskey
There's a preacher out there warning me about Satan
Could be that he knows him
Cause' He acts like he's possessed
I said 'Hey man let's hear about God realization
For a change'
He said "We ain't got time for that
First you must hear the evils of fornication"
