lyrics

All our lives they've said the bay was dirty
Long before my time, I'm pushing thirty
Forgotten toxic waste pits rediscovered
Guilty parties come to light half a century later in court they fight

I grew up in humble Highlands, Texas where the San Jacinto River bends
There's a chain link fence with warning signs,
saying you can't fish here any time

This all went down when my dad was born
Years pass and he would be working for'em

Dioxin pit, dioxin pit
Keep back no swimming and don't eat the fish
Dioxin pit, dioxin pit
They dump toxic waste and then hope we'll forget

Corporate acquisitions blur the crime
Dumping this was legal at the time
The businessmen now they just want to fill it
They say it's too expensive to remove it

Names may change but the deed remains the same
You buy the company, you buy the blame

Dioxin pit, dioxin pit
Keep back no swimming and don't eat the fish
Dioxin pit, dioxin pit
Our eyes are open we'll never forget

Our eyes are open to dioxin pit
