lyrics

Sitting by the river and watching it cut through the earth.
Looking at that water and wondering just what it's worth.
Sitting by the river and watching it cut through the earth.
Looking at that water and wondering just what it's worth.

There used to be people.
There used to be crime.
There used to be people raping the earth yes all the time.
Now they're all gone.
Their bodies in Oil.
Yeah, no one will miss them.
Their bodies will spoil.

And it never used to be here it's where we all used to play.
It never used to be here it's where we all used to play.
And now it's all gone and there's nothing left here but dry clay.

How long should I hold my breath until someone else decides to get wet?
While currently holding myself under water,
I've learned that sometimes to breathe you've gotta let go.

The earth was her own nurse without assistance,
No one had permission to take her
Intermittently carried away by man and not love
By man and not love.
Now look what you've done.

And it never used to be here it's where we all used to play.
It never used to be here it's where we all used to play.
And now it's all gone and there's nothing left here but dry clay.

Sitting by the river and watching it cut through the earth.
Looking at that water and wondering just what it's worth.
