The Lyrics
Down, down, down your throat
Iron rust drinking
Scarily, scarily, scarily, scarily
And lead poisoning!
Down, down, down your throat
Untreated water with gook
Diversion from Huron not slick
Didn't do it by the book!
Down, down, down your throat
Symptoms hard to treat
Tap water oh so foul
Doctor warnings didn't heed!
Down, down, down your throat
Red water, Flint River
With multi-contaminants
Health problems now... forever!
Down down, down your throat
Tensions high, organs sore
Snyder really doesn't care
For years this was ignored!
He's not a scapegoat
He let the water flow
EPA knew, he did too
And now he's got to go!!!
Poor, poor, poor Black folks
Still billed for the mistake
There's no money to fix the pipes
Even Obama's way too late!
Poor, poor, poor Black folks
Army water run,
Feds step in to assess the mess
Cost to fix in the millions!
Down, down, down your throat
An evil, awful thing
Ha, ha, Snyder fooled ya all
Claims he didn't know a thing!
And that's politics... as usual...
Iron rust drinking

Down, down, down your throat

Water we gonna do about that Snyder? 5's
What's with the 1s on all Flint water parodies? The level of irresponsibility is criminal and is being investigated as such!
When I was in high school I saw this written on a restroom wall: "Flush Quick, St. Louis Needs the Water". Funny, until I thought of what some commodian must have written in Omaha.
