The Sea Refuses No River歌词完整版

I remember being richer than a king

The minutes of the day were golden

I recall that when the joint passed round

My body felt a little colder

But now I'm like a sewer channel - running lime and scag

Let me get at the master panel - let me at my stack

The sea refuses no river

And right now this river's banks are blown

The sea refuses no river

Whether stinking and rank

Or red from the tank

Whether pure as a spring

There's no damned thing stops the poem

The sea refuses no river

And this river is homeward flowing

I have seen a trace of strain

In other's eyes not spoken

I must admit that I enjoyed their pain

But this time it's me that's broken

I demand for you and His

This must be the time

When we decide what freedom is

Turn water into wine

For the sea refuses no river

We're polluted now but in our hearts still clean

The sea refuses no river

We tried not to age

But time had it's rage

We're washed over stones

From babes into clones of the mean

The sea won't refuse this muddy river

Nor deny the sulfurous stream

There was a fool in a dressing robe

Riding out the twilight hour

Lonely and cold in an empty home

Trying to assess his power

But now he's like a stream in flood

Swollen by the storm

He doesn't care if he sheds his blood

Let him be reborn

For the sea refuses no river

Remember that when the beggar buys a round

The sea refuses no river

And rain fills the gutters

No time for stutters

This is our chance

To sing and to dance and to clown

The sea refuses no river

And rivers were sprung to drown

The sea refuses no river

No pecking code respected for the damned

The sea refuses no river

Whether starving or ill

Or strung on some pill

Just ''cause you own the land

There's no unique hand plugs the dam

The sea refuses no river

And the river is where I am

The river is where I am
