The River

Song Description

We are born. We go to school. We go to college. We get married. We have kids. We work every day on the same job for 40 years. We retire. Slowly we fade away. We die. Is that all there is? Do we have any chance of changing the course of our lives? What if we don't want to stream in the river with everybody else? In the first part of the song, the character describes how great it is to be in the river of life, where "you've got it all made" and where everything will be just fine. But then comes the instrumental part, where he steps outside and realizes that everybody is headed in the same direction, and that the river of life ends in the sea, and there is no time to go back because there is a body of water behind pushing forward. In the last part of the song, the character realizes how normal his life was, and sends out a call to action to everybody, to get out of the river. He is "sitting outside and watching them go, and affirms that "seeing what I see I'm glad that I dropped".

Lyrics

I'm tired of being nobody, keep loafing like anybody
you want to change this party? come on and bring it on!
I started noticing no matter what i'll find my self alone
Now i've got it all to win, got it all to sing
so free me from this tedious flow

You're gonna find it all out when you stream in the river, c'mon! c'mon!
You know that you've got it all here

Don't feel a part of this order, i can't be a fawner
I guess it's just the way this one has been made
This burden's heavy loaded, the only way indeed
Is me leaving, not returning again

You know that you'll get it laid if you stream in the river, c'mon! c'mon!
you've got it all set

da da da da da da.....
Sitting outside and watching them go
da da da da da da.....
Drifting along but still lacking control
da da da da da da.....
Straight to the sea, i'll tell you no more
da da da da da da.....
Seeing what it see i'm happy i dropped!
da da da da da da.....
Sit-back, relax and let yourself go!
