When The Well Runs Dry Lyrics

Robot Goes Here When The Well Runs Dry

What will you do when the well runs dry?
Would you steal what you could from the state?
Would you steal from your friends?
You can't know how you would act in your darkest hour.
You don't know what you could do if you were desperate
enough.
'Cause when the stakes climb so high that they blot out
the sun and leave us wandering 'round in a night so black
that we lose sight of any and all reason,
rationalizations make the ends justify the means.
Can you remember the life you lived, back before this
draught came on, ya before the well ran dry?
You can't know how you would act in your darkest hour.
You don't know what you could do if you were desperate
enough.
So as you leaf through the pages of history, let your
stomach churn but don't turn up your nose, 'cause we're
not so different from the participants in atrocities
past.
So don't tell yourself it could never happen here!
