The River (Live from Down By The River Thames)

Well, come on, you're weak at 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

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-suckin' MPs

The device in your hands, 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

You lick your lips like a prizefighter

Then show me it can take a punch

Your knuckles can't get no whiter

I'm 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 so long for you down by the river
