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 |
