Down By The River Lyrics - Singles - China Drum

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 

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 

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
