            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 Spare the rod don't spare the fool 
If you take the breaks you're given 
You get to make the rules 
Take a chance and make it fast 
If you break some bones on landing 
You know you're built to last 
Fight the tide and find the shore 
If the gift horse isn't smiling 
Just learn to ride some more 
Common sense is a rule of thumb 
If the suckers throw a red flag 
Blow 'em all to kingdom come 
And take this dirty water 
Running like a river 
In and out of everything 
We helped to put together 
Take this dirty water 
Help to keep it clean 
Get back to the wellsplring 
Purify the stream 
Search out days that never end 
If it's only for the chance 
To feel just like a child again 
Tell a lie that speaks the truth 
If the heart becomes a prisoner 
Your soul will turn you loose 
And take this dirty water 
Running like a river 
In and out of everything 
We helped to put together 
Take this dirty water 
Help to keep it clean 
Get back to the wellsplring 
Purify the stream 
And take this dirty water 
Running like a river 
In and out of everything 
We helped to put together 
Take this dirty water 
Help to keep it clean 
Get back to the wellsplring 
Purify the stream
