I look at this river
I see beauty and light
I see people with picnics
I see herons in flight
they look at the same thing
they look at this river
they see money, money, money money, money

I look at this river
I see childhood memories
imagine those who came before
I see history
they look at the same thing
they look at this river
they see money, money, money money, money

money radiating, money multiplying
stocks climbing, who cares who is dying

we gather together
we shout and we fight
over and over
we’re doing what’s right

I look at this river
I see leisure and strife
I look at this river
I see water is life
they look at the same thing
they look at this river
they see money, money, money money, money
