The River Lyrics

Libraries burst will books full of statements of people
Never a week or a day go by without another
Printed and perused
So many statements of import
But on the subject of my desire
There ain't nothing of the sort
Who was the first man to say
Honey do not drink the water again?
What did he think as he said?
What was going through his head?
I live by a river large as the ....Mississippi....
But careful not to fall in everybody knows its toxic, baby
When will this tragedy end;
when will we be able to drink the water again?

Precious few houses line the waterfront
We must overlook this bald truth
Running so wide
And so brown
And so blunt
There ain't no place for this sort of talk in this town
Its not just the smell of money
Its poisonous water, honey
.. ..
Who was the first man to say
Honey do not drink the water again ?
What did he think as he said ?
What was going through his head?
I live by a river large as the ....Mississippi....
But careful not to fall in everybody knows its toxic, baby
When will this tragedy end;
When will we be able to drink the water again?
. ..
If the s***'s good for business
Then that business has got to end
Cause I do not want a protest
I do not want a letter to send
I just wanna know wanna know
I just wanna know when can we drink the water again?
The water again
The water the water the water
The Fraser
.. ..
When will we be able to drink the water again?
