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
