The river

well come on you weakened knees
afraid of the thought police
you who say your generation is forsaken
get out of your clouds of weed
get out of your time machines
you can say that the sleeper has awakened

you gotta scream and shout
if you're gonna work this out
change comes when the water falls
i've been waiting so long for you down by the river

well the walls are closing in
and your head's in constant spin
and the pain in your eyes
i do comprehend
don't believe celebrities
the money sucking mp's
the device in your hand's imitation beauty

you gotta scream and shout
if you're gonna work this out
change comes when the water falls
i've been waiting so long for you down by the river

Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh

lick your lips like a prize fighter
show me you can take a punch
your knuckles can't get no whiter
they're gonna eat you for lunch, boy
so come on

you gotta scream and shout
if you're gonna work this out
change comes when the water falls
i've been waiting for you to come down by the river
