Town clock stopped tickin', but it ain't broken
|
Got a problem that no one can define
|
While that river keeps on a-flowin'
|
Hang on children, it's a matter of time
|
|
Angry child, impatience growin'
|
Waits with her father in that unemployment line
|
While that river goes on a-flowin'
|
Hang on darlin', it's a matter of time
|
|
Scarecrow watchin' years of growin'
|
With floods of asphalt creepin' closer each time
|
While that river goes on a-flowin'
|
Hang on brother, it's a matter of time
|
|
Sparrow, she's sleepin' with now way of knowin'
|
What's goin' on inside those telephone lines
|
Below, that river keeps on a-flowin'
|
Hang on sister it's a matter of time
|
|
Some say God created man, his likeness showin'
|
I do believe they've got it backwards this time
|
Somehow that river goes on a-flowin'
|
Hang on children, it's a matter of time
|
|
Tainted river flows to the ocean
|
That coughs up on the shore its poisonous brine
|
Why don't that river just stop a-flowin'
|
Hang on children, it's a matter of time
|
