lyrics

Well I've been thinking
That this is treason
What I've been doing with my life
My contributions
To the system
Have been minimal at best
There's another power
That I'm after
It's coming straight from my chest

That's why I take my soul down to the river
And hold my head up to the sky
Take my soul down to the river
And hold my head up to the sky

Well I've been thinking
That this is treason
What I've been doing with my life
The holy empire and their shiny weapons
Have no power here
The chutes and ladders
The fame and dollars
Have all been scattered into the air

That's why I take my soul down to the river
And hold my head up to the sky
Take my soul down to the river
And hold my head up to the sky

I've been thinking
That this is treason
What I've been doing with my life
There's another power
That I'm after
It's taken me all this time to realize

Why I take my soul down to the river
And hold my head up to the sky
I take my soul down to the river
And hold my head up to the sky

Well I take my soul down
To the riverside
And I hold my head up to the sky
When they come asking
They ask me why
I just hold me head up to the sky
Cause I've been down that road before
And it goes round and around
So take my money and take my car
Take my status and take my wage
Take my future and take my name

I'm gonna keep my heart and gonna take my soul down to the river
And hold my head up the sky
I take my soul down to the river
And I hold my head up to the sky
