Badlees - A Matter of Time lyrics

Town clock stopped tickin'but it ain't broken

Got a problem that no one can define

While that river keeps on a-flowin'

Hang on childrenit's a matter of time

Angry childimpatience growin'

Waits with her father in that unemployment line

While that river goes on a-flowin'

Hang on darlin'it's a matter of time

Scarecrow watchin' years of growin'

With floods of asphalt creepin' closer each time

While that river goes on a-flowin'

Hang on brotherit's a matter of time

Sparrowshe's sleepin' with now way of knowin'

What's goin' on inside those telephone lines

Belowthat river keeps on a-flowin'

Hang on sister it's a matter of time

Some say God created manhis likeness showin'

I do believe they've got it backwards this time

Somehow that river goes on a-flowin'

Hang on childrenit's a matter of time

Tainted river flows to the ocean

That coughs up on the shore it's poisonous brine

Why don't that river just stop a-flowin'

Hang on childrenit's a matter of time
