1
I remember being richer than a king
2
The minutes of the day were golden
3
I recall that when the joint passed 'round
4
My body felt a little colder
5
But now I'm like a sewer channel
6
Running lime and scag
7
Let me get at the master panel
8
Let me at my stack
9
The sea refuses no river
10
And right now
11
This river's banks are blown
12
The sea refuses no river
13
Whether stinking and rank
14
Or red from the tank
15
Whether pure as a spring
16
There's no damn thing stops the poem
17
The sea refuses no river
18
And this river is homeward flowing
19
I have seen a trace of strain
20
In other's eyes, not spoken
21
I must admit that I enjoyed their pain
22
But this time it's me that's broken
23
I demand for you and His
24
This must be the time
25
When we decide what freedom is
26
Turn water into wine
27
For the sea refuses no river
28
We're polluted now
29
But in our hearts still clean
30
The sea refuses no river
31
We tried not to age
32
But time had it's rage
33
We're washed over the stones
34
From babies into clones of the mean
35
The sea won't refuse this muddy river
36
Won't deny the sulfurous stream
37
There was a fool in a dressing robe
38
Riding out the twilight hour
39
Lonely and cold in an empty home
40
Trying to assess his power
41
But now he's like a stream in flood
42
Swollen by the storm
43
He doesn't care if he sheds his blood
44
Let him be reborn
45
The sea refuses no river
46
Remember that
47
When the beggar buys a round
48
The sea refuses no river
49
And rain fills the gutters
50
No time for stutters
51
This is our chance
52
To sing and to dance and to clown
53
The sea refuses no river
54
And rivers were sprung to drown
55
The sea refuses no river
56
No pecking code
57
Respected for the damned
58
The sea refuses no river
59
Whether starving and ill
60
Or strung on some pill
61
Just 'cos you own the land
62
There's no unique hand plugs the dam
63
The sea refuses no river
64
And the river is where I am
65
The river is where I am
