The River - Citizen Cope

They’ll take you down to the river

They’ll lay you down by the river

They’ll shoot you down by the river

Leave you to drown by the river

They’ll say it’s love when it’s not

They’ll send you to war and you’ll return in a pine box

Somehow they’ll claim it’s your fault

They killed that little child in the park

They’ll take you down to the river

They’ll lay you down by the river

They’ll shoot you down by the river

Leave you to drown by the river

They’ll say it’s love when it’s not

They’ll send you to war and you’ll return in a pine box

Somehow they’ll claim it’s your fault

They killed that little child in the park

This gotta stop

They’ll take you down to the river

They’ll lay you down by the river

They’ll shoot you down by the river

Leave you to drown by the river

By the river

See I never wanted to lose your love

I just wanted to choose your love

Lost in a moment of confusion

Now it’s all an illusion

See I never wanted to lose your love

I just wanted to choose your love

Lost in a moment of confusion

Now it’s all an illusion

See I never wanted to lose your love

I just wanted to choose your love

I lost in a moment of confusion

Now it’s just an illusion

See I never wanted to lose your love

I just wanted to choose your love

Lost in a moment of confusion

Now it’s just an illusion
