River of Spite Songtext
von Joe Bailey

Here′s to speaking my mind, and time after time
I'm buried in the grime
For thoughts and words not set in stone, foraged and home-grown
A mind made up alone

And if our minds do not see eye to eye
Don′t you worry, don't you cry
Pick a bone but don't you threaten me
Can′t we just agree to disagree

When you′re spewing in my ear, I find it hard to hear
Your words just disappear
And why do you harbor this offense?
Mistaking self-defense, for moral, common sense


How can I speak when you're tearing the floor right from under my feet?
How can we learn when you′re plugging your ears in the blistering heat?
How can we grow when the soil is drowning in a river of spite?
What can I say when you sever my tongue and you smother the light?

And if our minds do not see eye to eye
Don't you worry, don′t you cry
Pick a bone but don't you threaten me
Can′t we just agree to disagree?

How can I speak when you're tearing the floor right from under my feet?
How can we learn when you're plugging your ears in the blistering heat?
How can we grow when the soil is drowning in a river of spite?
What can I say when you sever my tongue and you smother the light?

Here′s to speaking my mind, and time after time
I′m buried in the grime
For thoughts and words not set in stone, foraged and home-grown
A mind made up alone


How can I speak when you're tearing the floor right from under my feet?
How can we learn when you′re plugging your ears in the blistering heat?
How can we grow when the soil is drowning in a river of spite?
What can I say when you sever my tongue and you smother the light?
