Badlees A Matter Of Time
Town clock stopped tickin', but it ain't broken
Got a problem that no one can define
While that river keeps on a-flowin'
Hang on children, it's a matter of time
Angry child, impatience growin'
Waits with her father in that unemployment line
While that river goes on a-flowin'
Hang on darlin', it's a matter of time
Scarecrow watchin' years of growin'
With floods of asphalt creepin' closer each time
While that river goes on a-flowin'
Hang on brother, it's a matter of time
Sparrow, she's sleepin' with now way of knowin'
What's goin' on inside those telephone lines
Below, that river keeps on a-flowin'
Hang on sister it's a matter of time
Some say God created man, his likeness showin'
I do believe they've got it backwards this time
Somehow that river goes on a-flowin'
Hang on children, it's a matter of time
Tainted river flows to the ocean
That coughs up on the shore its poisonous brine
Why don't that river just stop a-flowin'
Hang on children, it's a matter of time
