On the last day of the last month
Of the last year, before the end of the millennium
What a side show, dumb and glorious
We were gathering being anonymous
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Saints and psychos, freaks and Indians
Side by side, worshiping all their gods and aliens
Spoke of all things, save the mystery
All that's left, yet untouched
Undefiled and unknown
Undefiled and unknown
We sleep so eas'ly
Burn the oil like it's free
Watch the war on T V
With god on our side
We're stronger than them
Bomb and kill them, defend
Lose it all in the end
Down that riverside
On the last day, for the last time
We never even knew what was really happening here
But the knob's on in the lost sun too
Somebody's chosen field, them kneeling
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
