Lyrics
I've got nowhere to go I've got some rocks to throw today A child so lost in time A kid whose mind's been blown away He's heard all he can hear And seen more than he wants to see This town's all dead end streets Signs saying what young men should be He will take it down to the river Face down on the ground The day is pounding on your head Lonely in a crowd 'Cause she's in someone else's bed These halls are paved with gold A combination lock on every door The things he's learned today Are stuck in books thrown on the floor He will take it down to the river Another daily grind At sixteen you ain't got time to waste Make some future plans A blueprint of someone else's fate Be yourself they say As long as you do it like we say What's wrong with kids today They need a place to get away They just take it down Take it away Take it all away Down to the river
