The Shattered Conscience

It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

It don’t snow here
It stays pretty green
I’m gonna make a lot of money
Then I’m gonna quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
That I could teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
And made me weak at the knees
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

 
I’m so hard to handle
I’m selfish and I’m sad
And I’ve gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had

I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
That I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Merry Christmas, everyone.
