town clock stopped tickin', but it ain't broken

got a problem that no one can define

while the river keeps on a-flowin'

hang on children, it's a matter of time

angry child, impatience growin'

waits with her father in that unemployment line

wihle that river goes on a-flowin'

hang on darlin', it's a matter of time

scarecrow watchin' years of growin'

with floods of asphalt creepin' closer each time

while that river keeps on a-flowin'

hang on brother, it's a matter of time

sparrow, she's sleepin' with no way of knowin'

what's goin' on inside those telephone lines

below, that river keeps on a-flowin'

hang on sister, it's a matter of time

some say god created man, his likeness showin'

i do believe they've got it backwards this time

somehow that river goes on a-flowin'

hang on children, it's a matter of time

tainted river flows to the ocean

that coughs up on the shore its poisonous brine

why don't that river just stop a-flowin'?

hang on children, it's a matter of time
