Down to the River - Alex Leggett
You have some hate for him because of colour.
You can’t relate to him. But he’s you brother.
I’m gonna you down to the river.
You’ve no respect for her. Look how you treat her.
You can’t look out for her. You’re not a leader.
I’m gonna take you down to the river.
I’m gonna take you down to the river.
I’m gonna take you down to the river.
And I’ll hold you under the water till you come up from under your spell.
Another penny for the wishing well and you think you’re right but you can go to hell ‘cause you’re just dead wrong.
You’re living in a dream. The world is dying.
You kick and you bite and you scream. Just stop your crying.
I’m gonna take you down to the river.
I’m gonna take you down to the river.
I’m gonna take you down to the river.
So I’ll hold you under the water till you come up from under your spell.
Another penny for the wishing well and you think you’re right but you can go to hell ‘cause you’re just dead wrong.
And I know just what you’re doing. We all know, we look right through it.
So I’ll hold you under the water till you come up from under your spell.
And I’ll hold you under the water till you come up from under your spell.
Another penny for the wishing well and you think you’re right but you can go to hell ‘cause you’re just dead wrong.

Something’s Gotta Give - Alex Leggett & Heather Meori
Gonna make a stand. Just not for you.
Your sinister plans and selfish views.
I have a choice. I have a voice.
They say the days are brighter now.
But I know that’s not the case.
I’m in a shadow of a doubt.
But the levees gonna break.
People are freaking out.
It’s getting harder just to live.
The prressure ain’t going down.
Oh but something’s gotta give.
You tell me all the time.
It’s all gone to hell.
I think I’ll be fine.
Time will tell.
They say the days are brighter now.
But I know that’s not the case.
I’m in a shadow of a doubt.
But the levees gonna break.
People are freaking out.
It’s getting harder just to live.
The prressure ain’t going down.
Oh but something’s gotta give.

2020 - Alex Leggett
What a year so far.
Enough to stress you out.
But don’t lose heart.
We’re gonna scream and shout “it’s all good” someday.
But don’t you know that “someday,” it might be closer than you’d think.
But don’t you know.
What a year so far.
When so much has changed.
The 2020’s suck a little more each day.
It’s all good someday.
Well don’t you know that “someday,” it might closer than you’d think.
But don’t you know.
What a year so far.
What a year so far.
What a year so far.
