The river isn’t rising
It grinds the shore
The river boat’s arriving
Mind the store
They’re coming for the rich folk in your town
So quick to stick a pitchfork in your mouth
Foundation needs replacing
And I should know
We’re still working from the basement of ancient Rome
Appreciate your patients
Awaken from your nap
Then rise to the occasion that fell into your lap
But we’re so tired
And we’re so lost
We’ll only slow you down
We’ll only throw you off
The river isn’t rising behind the storm
We take them by surprise
But it takes too long
Hooray for your achievements
You’ve earned our praise
Now go work out the demons from the hell you’ve raised
But we’re so tired
And we’re so lost
We’ll only slow you down
We’ll only throw you off
