The River

[Verse 1] Well come on, you weak of knees Afraid of the thought police You who say our generation is forsaken Get out of your clouds of weed Get out of your time machines You can say that the sleeper has awakened [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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-suckin’ MPs The device in your hands, imitation beauty [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental] [Bridge] Lick your lips like a prize fighter Surely you can take a punch Your knuckles can't get no whiter They're gonna eat you for lunch, boy So come on [Outro] 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
