A Well Beside The River songtekst

A song I dedicate unto those few who share my need
To give their all and should they fall, strive on till 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
