A River Flowing Lyrics - Tinderbox - Stiff Little Fingers

Judgement man 

On the bench again 

Telling me what I've done wrong 

Judgement man 

Throws away the key 

Says he's putting me where I belong 

Government man 

On my TV screen 

Telling me what's right for me 

But the government man 

On the TV screen 

Doesn't see things that I can see 

He's calling : 

Trust me need me 

Put your faith in my lies 

Believe me 

Trust me need me 

We're moving on 

Cos we're past believing 

Chorus: 

We are a river flowing 

And you can't turn the river round 

We are a river flowing 

Why don't you jump in the river and drown 

Police man 

On the beat again 

Beating all that he can find 

Criminal man 

On the street again 

Steal instead of serving time 

Preacher man 

On the satellite 

Says he gonna save my heart 

All it takes is a telephone call 

And a current credit card 

He's crying: 

Hold me feel me 

Put your hands on my head and heal me 

Hold me fleece me 

We're moving on 

Cos we're past believing 

For too long now 

You've denied the truth 

Now you have to face your fear 

Cos for too long now 

You've had all the power 

But you can't last another year 

C'mon: 

Face me see me 

Realise that I'm what you made me 

Hear me join me 

Or stand aside as the tide come sweeping
