[00:07.48]I met you in eight two, over a crate of beer and not a few
[00:12.87]I cracked a can and so did you, we're going to change the world
[00:17.40]The ghetto kings of downside town-the estates and parks of our hallowed ground
[00:20.11]Doing anything that we found, and on the river flowed
[00:24.60]You'd take a drink from Rev. Jimmy Jones
[00:27.72]You'd cross the street on the path the gunman roams
[00:31.39]Thrown aside and left to waste, that was you, you knew your place
[00:34.56]Wander round, get off your face, and on the river flowed
[00:38.63]On and on the river flow, we are the undertow
[00:44.53]On and on the river flow, we are the undertow
[00:56.75]I don't know how you made it through all the smoke and brew you do
[01:05.30]It sure has left its mark on you but you're still with us today
[01:08.01]Life goes on and round we go and words can kill these things I know
[01:10.84]Sometimes you cut deeply so, but on the river flows
[01:15.30]You'd set the table for barber Sweeney Todd
[01:18.94]You'd clip the wings of any rising god
[01:22.52]But man can't live on hope alone, it can be cut all that is grown
[01:25.27]Broke your spirit but not your bones and on the river flows
[01:29.31]On and on the river flow, we are the undertow
[01:35.63]On and on the river flow, we are the undertow
[01:58.62]You're working now, forced to the race I know it left a bitter taste
[02:18.13]But the rising tide had covered your face
[02:19.51]Nothing you could do
[02:20.54]But I still remember the day you said
[02:22.38]That the river flowing through my head
[02:23.20]Would take me far or leave me dead
[02:25.08]And all you said was true
[02:29.08]🎵
