Went to the river but the river was dry Saw a little bird there caught my eye Keep on running where are you going I'll tell you something I think's worth knowing Cities come and cities go Time can move fast and time can move slow You've only got two arms on your shoulders Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Don't throw Don't throw Don't throw your hands up only to cry
I went to the mountain what did I see? A white beard man with a colour TV He said can you believe these kids today Half of them are murderers and half of them pray For what, for what I can't reply You sit and you stare and it passes you by All the rivers, the mountains, the perilous sea Old man old man now listen to me
Don't throw Don't throw Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Why not live life a little bit harder You sons don't mind the sins of your fathers Now they're all dancing up in the sky now Why not live life a little bit Don't throw your hands up only to cry
