Intro
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, 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
And you can take a horse to the water
But you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can have it all staked out in front of you
But it still don't make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Someone I love has got a problem
Some people thirst for truth, but he would like a drink
I said 'Hey man this could turn out to be risky'
He said 'everything's ok' as he downed another bottle of whiskey
And you can take a horse to the water
But you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Solo
chorus x 2)
There's 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 don't got time for that, first you must hear the evils of
fornication'
You can take a horse to the water
But you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can have it all laid out in front of you
But it still don't make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can take a horse to the water
But you can't make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can have it all staked out in front of you
But it still don't make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Solo to fade (chorus x 1)
