I met you in 82, over a crate of beer and not a few
I cracked a can and so did you, we're going to change the world
The ghetto kings of downside town
The estates and parks of our hallowed ground
Doing anything that we found, and on the river flowed
You'd take a drink from Rev. Jimmy Jones
You'd cross the street on the path the gunman roams
Thrown aside and left to waste, that was you, you knew your place
Wander round, get off your face, and on the river flowed
On and on the river flow, we are the undertow
On and on the river flow, we are the undertow
I don't know how you made it through all the smoke and brew you do
It sure has left its mark on you but you're still with us today
Life goes on and 'round we go and words can kill these things I know
Sometimes you cut deeply so, but on the river flows
You'd set the table for barber Sweeney Todd
You'd clip the wings of any rising God
But man can't live on hope alone, it can be cut all that is grown
Broke your spirit but not your bones and on the river flows
[Unverified]
You're working now, forced to the race
I know it left a bitter taste
But the rising tide had covered your face
Nothing you could do
But I still remember the day you said
That the river flowing through my head
Would take me far or leave me dead
And all you said was true
Перевод
Я встретил вас в 82-м, за ящиком пива, а немало
Я разбил банку, и вы тоже, мы собираемся изменить мир
Короли гетто нижнего города
Поместья и парки нашей священной земли
Делали все, что находили, и текла река
Вы бы напились у преподобного Джимми Джонса
Вы бы перешли улицу на тропой, по которой бродит боевик
Отброшен в сторону и брошен впустую, это был ты, ты знал свое место
Поброди вокруг, отойди от лица, и по реке потекла
Вперед и в течение реки , мы — отлив
Всюду по речному течению, мы — отлив
Я не знаю, как тебе удалось пройти через весь этот дым и пиво, которое ты делаешь
Оно точно оставило свое отметка на тебе, но ты все еще с нами сегодня
Жизнь продолжается, и мы идем, и слова могут убить эти вещи, я знаю
Иногда ты ранишь так глубоко, но река течет
Ты бы накрыл стол для парикмахера Суини Тодда
Ты бы подрезал крылья любому восходящему Богу
Но человек не может жить одной надеждой, можно срезать все, что выросло
Сломил твой дух но не твои кости и по реке течет
{Непроверено}
Ты сейчас работаешь, вынужденный гонку
Я знаю, что это оставило горький привкус
Но подъем прилив закрыл твое лицо
Ты ничего не мог сделать
Но я до сих пор помню тот день, когда ты сказал
Что река, текущая через мою голову
Унесет меня далеко или оставит мертвой
И все, что ты сказал, было правдой
