River Don’t Care Songtext
von Gord Downie

I write about words
Try and make ′em sound like my
Thoughts of nature will still accept me
No matter what I want

River don't care
What you write for it
Your throw-away thoughts where
You cast into it what you want into it

I don′t care about nature
Nature don't care about it
I throw all I had at it
Ineffable shit, the pain, the blood and spit


It's all invitation
To be indiscreet
To suck and blow at the same time
To work both sides of the street

River don′t care
What I write for it
Your throw-away thoughts
What you cast for it what you pour into it

I don′t care 'bout nature
Nature don′t care about me
I throw all I had at it
Ineffable shit, the pain, the blood and spit

Ooh ahh

I can't love you now
I cannot be that guy
I couldn′t do what you do
I cannot, I cannot not to try
