lyrics

1 - So you walk to the city
With the shining towers
And you never notice
That your feet don’t touch the ground
Down by the rivers of cash

2 - As you draw nearer
To the sound of the engines
To the hum and the drum
Of the cold, hard machinery
Down by the rivers of cash

Cho - It only hurts a little while
Till you forget where you came from
It only hurts a little while

3 - They say we’ll teach you
To play our game
Get a room in the sky
And try to look the part
Down by the rivers of cash

4 - See the people
Down below
They look so small
They seem so insignificant
As they walk by the rivers of cash

Cho - (repeat)

Bridge - You can see your reflection
Shining on the surface of the water
But don’t look too deep
God knows what you’ll see

5 - The children go down
Hand in hand
And their feet get dirty
Don’t nobody notice
They just have to learn the ways of the river

6 - The river runs
And the years go by
And the children grow to love
Only what money buys
Down by the rivers of cash

Cho - (repeat)

Bridge - (repeat)

7 - The fishermen go
And they wade right in
If they bag a silver dollar
They just throw it back
Don’t worry about it, there’s more where that came from

8 - And the dreamers come
But the dreams will die
For nowhere does that
Winged creature fly
Over the rivers of cash

Go to sleep child
Go to sleep child
Go to sleep, it only hurts a little while
