Down by the River

Gonna take you down by the river
 Smell the gunpowder, hear the ghost sing
 Kids in the shadows, drinking by the water
 Smoking and blowing them smoke rings
 Gonna take you down to the river
 You're gonna learn about the times man
 Bloodstains will make you shiver
 You're gonna feel it in your spine, man
 ♪
 Used to walk down Sante Fe Street
 Had a quarter in my hand and a fake ID
 Sip a little poison on the Mexican side
 Bones in the ground heard singing off key
 Now walk down Sante Fe Bridge
 Lie low between the lanes man
 Nobody flinching when the killing shots ring
 These times ain't the same man
 Undertaker look like crows
 Red eyed and dressed in black
 Undertaker said there ain't no law
 Cross that river, you never come back
 ♪
 Gonna take you to the railroad bridge
 Gonna see men hanging like scarecrows
 Noose tied on the violent side of the lamp blown over so the world knows
 I'm gonna take you to the railroad bridge so ya
 Ya have to look em in the eye
 Countin the thread, sendin you a message
 Blood spillin, don't matter what side
 Undertaker look like crows
 Red eyed and dressed in black
 Undertaker said there ain't no law
 Cross that river, you never come back
 Cross that river, you never come back
 Crows fly through the sister city street
 Weep for the lives of the lost ones
 They cry what a shame, what a pity
 Mouths fed through the crimes of a drug gun
 Crow flies through the broken city
 Gather up the remains man
 Take heed, we all bleed
 Keep it running through your veins man
 ♪
 And when I walk that line
 I see the other side
 Something in their eyes
 Well its the same as mine
 Undertaker look like crows
 Red eyed and dressed in black
 Undertaker said there ain't no law
 Cross that river, you never come back
 Undertaker look like crows
 Red eyed and dressed in black
 Undertaker said there's only one law
 Cross that river, you never come back
 Cross that river, you never come back
 Cross that river, you never come back
 Cross that river, you never come back
 Cross the dirty river and you never come back
