A Well Beside The River

歌詞

A song I dedicate unto those few who share my need To give their all and should they fall, strive on 'til they succeed Though my belly aches with hunger Weary limbs tremble and shiver I'd rather go where waters flow No well beside the river It's spur has driven some to Hell on an unbridled desire No pain, no gain, the strongest chain's forged in the hottest fire I pity you whose eyes so blue have never known ambition Yet can spit your judgment at me like some crazed, despotic queen This dull existence merely half-life, a glazed comatose condition Too scared to try so born to die, sat at your sewing machine Discontentedly accepting all The world's prepared to give her It's fate that she stagnates Just like a well beside the river Life's one almighty, ducking-school we've built with our own hands We can swim and burn or sink and drown 'cause either way we're damned I'm so proud to be the tupping fool, your foul, fantastic freak At least each moment I've spent on this earth was totally unique So little man with such big plans to stand upon the stage Why do you squabble in the dirt, you should be reaching for a star By far the greatest gift that I can give on making the front page It is: instead of punching faces why not practice your guitar? More beauty has been composed Than jealousy can tear and sliver Wilst troubled waters bubble You're a well beside the river Life's one almighty, ducking-school we've built with our own hands We can swim and burn or sink and drown 'cause either way we're damned I'm so proud to be the tupping fool, your foul, fantastic freak At least each moment I've spent on this earth was totally unique There's a dirty job I've done For all my life without time-off, called "being me" Though the hours are long and my pay is poor I can't resign it's all I'm qualified to be! Life's one almighty, ducking-school we've built with our own hands We can swim and burn or sink and drown 'cause either way we're damned I'm so proud to be the tupping fool, your foul, fantastic freak At least each moment I've spent on this earth was totally unique Though my belly aches with hunger Weary limbs tremble and shiver I'd rather go where waters flow No well beside the river
