You can take a horse to the water
but you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no

friend of mine's in so much misery
Some people sail through life, but he has [bad word] 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 [bad word]  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
