Koolaid lyrics

Running through the jungle

Way back in '78

Here's the story of the people's temple

And my great escape

Communing with a madman

The promise of utopia

White nights, suicide drills

Shades of things to come

He said

We're gonna mix it up

Add the cyanide

Then we'll drink it up

You're gonna feel so fine

I said

Don't drink the Koolaid

Don't taste the holy water

Don't drink the Koolaid

No matter what the preacher - what the preacher says

The day of disaster struck

The murders did begin

His sheep drank it willingly

While mothers force fed their kin

33 escaped this hell

Some would call it fate

That's how I lived to tell the tale

About the day he mixed the grape

He said

We're gonna mix it up

Add the cyanide

You better drink it up

You're gonna get so high

Don't drink the Koolaid

Don't taste the holy water

Don't drink the Koolaid

No matter what the preacher says

Don't drink the Koolaid

Don't you down the holy water

Don't drink the Koolaid

Don't believe a word he says

Most of the congregation

900 dead

Jones found his own way out

A bullet to the head

Don't drink the Koolaid

Don't you taste the holy water

Don't drink the Koolaid

No matter what the preacher says

Don't drink the Koolaid

I won't down the holy water

Don't drink the Koolaid

No matter what the preacher

What the preacher says
