I broke you in the canyon

I drowned you in the lake

You a snake that I would trample

Only thing I'd not embrace

Oh, you couldn't dam that river

And maybe I don't give a damn anyway

So you couldn't dam that river

And it washed me so far away

I pushed and then you stumbled

I kicked you in the face

You stare at me so hollow

Got to keep that killin' pace

Oh, you couldn't dam that river

And maybe I don't give a damn anyway

So you couldn't dam that river

And it washed me so far away

I burned the place around you

I hit you with a rake

You piss upon my candle

So proving you're a fake

Oh, you couldn't dam that river

And maybe I don't give a damn anyway

So you couldn't dam that river

And it washed me so far away
