A River Flowing Lyrics

On the bench again

Telling me what I've done wrong

Judgement man

Throws away the key

Says he's putting me where I belong

Government man

On my TV screen

Telling me what's right for me

But the government man

On the TV screen

Doesn't see things that I can see

He's calling :

Trust me need me

Put your faith in my lies

Believe me

Trust me need me

We're moving on

Cos we're past believing

[Chorus:]

We are a river flowing

And you can't turn the river round

We are a river flowing

Why don't you jump in the river and drown

Police man

On the beat again

Beating all that he can find

Criminal man

On the street again

Steal instead of serving time

Preacher man

On the satellite

Says he gonna save my heart

All it takes is a telephone call

And a current credit card

He's crying:

Hold me feel me

Put your hands on my head and heal me

Hold me fleece me

We're moving on

Cos we're past believing

For too long now

You've denied the truth

Now you have to face your fear

Cos for too long now

You've had all the power

But you can't last another year

C'mon:

Face me see me

Realise that I'm what you made me

Hear me join me

Or stand aside as the tide come sweeping
