Who will save the River Valley?
That\'s my drinking water
This was once a sacred place, now
Look at what we\'ve got here
I\'ll pretend there isn\'t any problem, just do my job
And if I don\'t like the standard of living, go move to Russia
Me and Pete went swimming last night
He\'s my friend from boyscouts
All the fish were floating upright
We got scared and we got out
Mother says don\'t play down where your father does his job
You know he\'s got to make a living, or move to Russia
This is my world, this is my world
Don\'t let it go away
Is it a crime spending my time
Dreaming of yesterday?
Meet me in the River Valley
You can tell me stories
\'Bout a time before pinstripe suits
Dippers, grits, and tories
My mother sang the songs her mother taught her
We\'d be swimming off in cool, cool water
When she called us from the yard
Running home, it felt like god.
This is my world, don\'t take it away
Is your favorite place controlled by
Developing ambitions?
Do you think you\'ll have some power
Sigining a petition?
Are you fine with your surroundings? Are they gonna crumble?
I\'m living in the River Valley, come and join me for a tumble
High up above, see the cars up on the viaduct
From sunrise to the last call - they push their luck
And that would be fine
If I was yours and you were mine
Who will save the River Valley?
Who will save the River Valley?
Who will save the River Valley?
Who will save the River Valley?
