Down the River Songtext
von The Crane Wives

I've been wishing that you'd prove me wrong
That you'd come clean and rue the damage done
Restore my faith in you
But you've got no reason to

'Cause ain't it easier to just move on?
One door closing means another one
Opens unto
Some unsuspecting fool

Sure, you can forget about all the things you've done
But what about the rest of us?
(What about the rest of us?)
High-tail it when it gets to be too much
But what about the rest of us?
(What about the rest of us?)

Sell us down the river
You can sell us down the river
You were never the one
To suffer


I've been hearing that you're leaving town
The dust never settles when you're around
Too many people with
Your name on top of their lists
Now, tell me, when you start again
Where will you house your skeletons?
Or will they stay behind
Your settlement in kind?

Sure, you can forget about all the things you've done
But what about the rest of us?
(What about the rest of us?)
High-tail it when it gets to be too much
What about the rest of us?
(What about the rest of us?)
Sell us down the river
You can sell us down the river
You were never the one
To suffer

Down the river
Down the river
Down the river
Down the river
