Girls are walking with their mothers, shopping for clothes Sons are sitting with their fathers, fishing for ideas in their souls
Down by the river, it's getting cold Down by the river, it's getting cold It's getting cold
The roads are stained, it seems impossible, impossible to clean The oil and the salt mix to a shiny, shiny gleam
Down 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 you
Girls are walking with their mothers, shopping for clothes Sons are sitting with their fathers, fishing for ideas in their souls

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
