A [Verse 1] A Well come on, you weak of knees A Afraid of the thought police A F A You who say our generation is forsaken A Get out of your clouds of weed A Get out of your time machines A F A You can say that the sleeper has awakened [Chorus] D A D You gotta scream and shout D If you're gonna work this out F Change comes when the water falls F D A I’ve been waiting so long for you down by the river [Verse 2] A Well the walls are closing in A And your head's in constant spin A F A And the pain in your eyes I do comprehend A Don't believe celebrities A The money-suckin’ MPs A F A The device in your hands, imitation beauty [Chorus] D A D You gotta scream and shout D If you're gonna work this out F Change comes when the water falls F D A I’ve been waiting so long for you down by the river [Instrumental] D A [Bridge] A Lick your lips like a prize fighter A Surely you can take a punch A Your knuckles can't get no whiter A They're gonna you for lunch, boy A So come on [Outro] D A D You gotta scream and shout D If you're gonna work this out F Change comes when the water falls F D A I’ve been waiting so long for you down by the river
