Down To The River — Metal Church

I've got nowhere to go I've got some rocks to throw today A child so lost in time A kid whose mind's been blown away

He's heard all he can hear And seen more than he wants to see This town's all dead end streets Signs saying what young men should be

He will take it down to the river

Face down on the ground The day is pounding on your head Lonely in a crowd 'Cause she's in someone else's bed

These halls are paved with gold A combination lock on every door The things he's learned today Are stuck in books thrown on the floor

He will take it down to the river

Another daily grind At sixteen you ain't got time to waste Make some future plans A blueprint of someone else's fate

Be yourself they say As long as you do it like we say What's wrong with kids today They need a place to get away

They just take it down Take it away Take it all away Down to the river
