Lyrics:

Take it to the river but the river don't flow
We gonna' die 'cause the river ain't home.
Oh why

We treat each other cruel
(We treat each other... cruel)
I don't wanna learn the lessons you teach
I don't wanna' speak the language you speak
Oh why
We treat each other cruel
(We treat each other... cruel)
Ah...
I was standing out in the middle of the light
I was standing out by the river
I was standing out by the water in the night
And I wonder if it would be better
If we all
Were the same...
Well, what you wanna' bank comin' over me
So damn mad I can't even see right
We treat each other cruel
We treat each other cruel
Well raise my head and tell me why
Keep my hands on the souls of our children
We treat each other cruel
We treat each other cruel
Yeah...
