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
