River Of Tears |
| There’s a cold rain on the Autumn wind |
| A brother murdered in Sydney Town |
| Marrickville brother under legal cover |
| In his home they gunned him down |
| And we say oh oh oh oh oh ooooooh |
| They shot him down |
| Sad river of tears |
| Two hundred years in the river of fear |
| They took him out at point blank range |
| In his home with his small young son |
| Shot him dead in his Marrickville bed |
| With a pump action 12 gauge shotgun |
| Oh oh oh oh oh oooooh |
| They shut him down |
| And we say oh oh oh oh oooooh |
| Sad river of tears |
| Two hundred years in the river of fear |
| He left a fatherless child and a grieving wife |
| A black fugitive on the run |
| Runing from two centuries |
| Of oppressions loaded gun |
| We say oh oh oh oh oh oooooh |
| They shoot you down |
| Sad river of tears |
| Two hundred years in the river of fear |
| They shoot you down |
| Sad river of tears |
| Two hundred years in the river of fear |
| Terrorists dressed in uniform |
| Under the protection of their law |
| Terrorize blacks in dawns of fear |
| They come crashin' through your door |
| You’re not safe out there on freedom street |
| You’re not safe inside the «can» |
| For with their shotguns and their stunt gas |
| They’re licensed to drop you where you stand |
| There’s a cold rain on the Autumn wind |
| A brother murdered in Sydney Town |
| Marrickville brother under legal cover |
| In his home they gunned him down |
| You’re not safe out there on freedom’s street |
| You’re not safe inside the «can» |
| For with their shotguns and their stunt gas |
| They’re licensed to drop you where you stand |
