"We Treat Each Other Cruel" lyrics

Taken to the river but the river don't flow
We gonna die cause the river ain't home
Oh, why

We treat each other cruel
We treat each other cruel

I don't wanna learn the lessons you teach
You don't even speak the language that I speak
Oh, why

We treat each other cruel
We treat each other cruel

I was standing out in the middle of the night
I was standing out by the river
I was standing out by the water in the night
And I wonder if it would be better
If we all were the same

Well, what you wanna think becoming of me
So damn mad I can't even see right

We treat each other cruel
We treat each other cruel

Break my head and call me wild
Keep your hands off the souls of our children

We treat each other cruel
We treat each other cruel
