Wide Wide River |
River of shit |
River of shit |
Flow on, flow on, river of shit |
Right from my toes |
On up to my nose |
Flow on, flow on, river of shit |
(transition to Rock) |
I’ve been swimming In this river of shit |
More than 20 years, and I’m getting tired of it |
Don’t like swimming, hope it’ll soon run dry |
Got to go on swimming, cause I don’t want to die |
(spoken with gospel sound in background): |
Who dealt this mess, anyway? |
Yea, it’s an old card player’s term |
But sometimes you can use the old switcheroo and it can be applied to … |
Frontal politics |
What I mean is … |
Who was it that set up a system |
Supposedly democratic system |
Where you end up always voting for the lesser of two evils? |
I mean, Was George Washington the lesser of two evils? |
Sometimes I wonder … |
You got some guy that says |
«For God sake, we’ve got to stop having violence in this country.» |
While he’s spending 16,000 dollars a second snuffing gooks |
(gospel sound musical ending) |
A wiiiiiiiiiiiiide, big brown river, yea, bringing health, wealth, |
and prosperity to every man, women, and child |
