bearingstrangefruit I heard this song at a live show in halifax at a tiny cafe on agricola st that closed down. I've had it stuck in my head for years and years after hearing it once. And I finally found it!! Gives me the same feel as it did back then.

lyrics

SINCERELY, LIZA (BUCKET SONG)

Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good

It seems so simple when you separate the parts
And learn about all the pieces of the puzzle we are
Complicated people, they try to mislead us
Fill the bucket up with water when it’s falling apart

Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good

Hear the beating of the drum as they fight for their land
That we took from their people when this nation began
It seems so simple, you’d think stealing was wrong
But here we are in the future still taking the land

With your own two hands, you can separate the parts
And learn about all the pieces of the puzzle we are
Step back from the bucket, take a look at yourselves
The wood’s all rotten, rust did everything else

Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good

Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
