I see change And I’m not moving I’m stuck inside A deep, forgotten hole A rotten discontent A plot that never thickens You were never Charles Dickens
River rolls around me The water moves at ease All the way down the hill And a little to the left Rests a 40-acre farm Filled with pigs and cows Sheep and hounds A farmer who only makes ends And a hundred running chickens Trapped behind the fences Omniscient to their captivity Unwilling; but unable To break out free and roam But still they stay behind As the steady river rolls In short, I see a change And I’m not moving I’m stuck inside A deep, forgotten hole A rotten discontent With a plot that never thickens With a hundred running chickens
