Letra A River Flowing de Stiff Little Fingers original

Judgement man

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


We are a river flowing
And you can't turn the river round

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
