Lyrics
Clear in the light
Clear as the light
That's what you trust
Before it's too late
We'll be
Every drop through the rinse and the drain
Look innocent, tasting the same
Nobody great in the water again
Until the standard finally comes
Two grades of clear
Only one is true
Utility washes,
critical season through
Two grades of clear, we finally drew
the line
Under the mark, I'll roll back so the waters fly
Twenty, twenty -three, they ain't still wet I'll number the field,
it never met
Water testing sits beside the blade now
On the hazard list, the fear it never left
The grades of clear, only one is true
Utility washes,
critical sees it through
Two grades of clear, we finally drew the
line
Under the mark, our rulebook saw the waters
fall
Four departments
One faucet One blood
spot They all miss
Infection watch,
facilities new Sterile processing,
swore the tests were true
Biome traced it back to the drain
Four different jobs,
one river to now
Two grades of clear, only one is
true
Utility washes,
critical sees it through
Two grapes of clear, we finally drew
the line
They're under the mark, our rulebook, so the one is
fine
Clear in the light
Now we know the lie
Test the water
Never wonder why
