River of shit

River of shit

Flow on, flow on, river of shit

Right from my toes

On up to my nose

Flow on, flow on, river of shit

I've been swimming

In this river of shit

More than 20 years

And i'm getting tired of it

Don't like swimming

Hope it'll run dry

Got to go on swimming

Cause i don't want to die

Spoken:

Oh i can feel another 1000 years

Of the flapjacks of sorrow! unless!

Unless we make 2000 a.d.! 2000 a.d.

Our glorious deadline

A glorious deadline to make the

World a better place!

Or else the flapjacks of sorrow

Are going to slide down our throats

Slide down our throats

For another millenium

Of pain and war and oppression

And all our children's children's children's

Children's children children

Shall have to wade and to swim

In the same grim river

In which we now swim

Sing along with us

Sing sing sing sing sing sing sing sing!
