Girls are walking with their mothers, shopping for clothes
Sons are sitting with their fathers, fishing for ideas in their soulsDown by the river, it's getting cold
Down by the river, it's getting cold
It's getting coldThe roads are stained, it seems impossible, impossible to clean
The oil and the salt mix to a shiny, shiny gleamDown by the river, it's getting cold
Down by the river, it's getting cold
But it won't stop the bastards trying
And it won't stop the people from dying
But it won't stop the bastards trying
And it's all because of you
All because of you
Because of youGirls are walking with their mothers, shopping for clothes
Sons are sitting with their fathers, fishing for ideas in their soulsDown by the river, it's getting cold
Down by the river, it's getting coldBut it won't stop the bastards trying
And it won't stop the people from dying
But it won't stop the bastards trying
And it's all because of you
All because of you
Down by the river it's getting cold
Down by the river it's getting cold
Because of you
Down by the river it's getting cold
Down by the river it's getting cold
