River's Gonna Rise
Lyricist:David Francis Baerwald, David Jeffrey Ricketts
God ain't in his heaven, something ain't right I hear church bells ringing in the middle of the night They're dragging a man by his insides Through the broad daylight Thieves have their season sure but it's getting on midnight
And the river's gonna rise, it's gonna rise There'll be dancing in the street when the river done rise
Cold wind is blowing, flags flapping much too slow The monkey men sell paradise to the girls from tupelo Black shirted boys in the badlands play machine gun rodeo Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The downtown missions packed too tight with folks that got nowhere to go
But the river's gonna rise, it's gonna rise And there'll be dancing in the street when the river done rise
God ain't in his heaven, something ain't right The TV newsman smiles and says, 'The curfew starts tonight' They're killing a man from the inside in the broad daylight While the propped up puppet wags his head And watches all the proud things die But the river's gonna rise
