Don't Throw Your Hands Up - the cat empire
Went to the river but the river was dry
Saw a little bird there caught my eye
Keep on running where are you going
I’ll tell you something I think’s worth knowing
Cities come and cities go
Time can move fast and time can move slow
You’ve only got two arms on your shoulders
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
I went to the mountain what did I see?
A white beard man with a colour TV
He said can you believe these kids today
Half of them are murderers and half of them pray
For what, for what I can’t reply
You sit and you stare and it passes you by
All the rivers, the mountains, the perilous sea
Old man old man now listen to me
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Why not live life a little bit harder
You sons don’t mind the sins of your fathers
Now they’re all dancing up in the sky now
Why not live life a little bit
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
Don’t throw
Don’t throw
Don’t throw your hands up only to cry
