kev carmody - river of tears lyrics

[verse 1]
there’s a cold rain on the autumn wind
a brother murdered in sydney town
marrickville brother under supposed legal cover
in his home they gunned him down

[chorus]
we say oh+oh+oh+oh+oh+oh
gunned him down
sad river of tears
two hundred years in the river of fear
gunned him down

[verse 2]
they took him out at point+blank range
in his home with his small young son
shot him dead in his marrickville bed
with a pump action 12 gauge shotgun
fatherless child and a grieving wife
a black fugitive on the run
on the run from two centuries of opprеssion’s loaded gun

[chorus]
we say oh+oh+oh+oh+oh+oh
gunned him down
sad rivеr of tears
two hundred years in the river of fear
gunned him down
[verse 3]
terrorists dressed in uniform
under the protection of their law
terrorise blacks in dawns of fear
they come smashin’ through your door
you’re not safe out there on freedom street
you’re not safe inside the can
for their shotguns and their stunt gas
they’re licenced to drop you where you stand

[chorus]
we say oh+oh+oh+oh+oh+oh
sad river of tears
two hundred years in the river of fear
gunned him down

[outro]
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh+oh
gunned him down
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh+oh
gunned him down
oh+oh+oh+oh+oh+oh
