Carl Noon - Out of the River

They carried Harry to the doctor, crying
'Our son is depressed'
'Can you give him something to take the darkness away?'
'We can't cope with the stress'
Doctor took one look and scribbled a prescription
Ticked a box, said 'Right away'
'The pills'll fill the gaps that he is feeling'
'He won't know why, but he'll feel ok'
We need to stop just pulling people out of the river
We need to go upstream, and learn why they're falling in
We need to stop just pulling people out of the river
We need to go upstream, and learn why they're falling in
Sally broke into bits and pieces
When her mama said, 'You'll have to go'
'Too many mouths, not enough to go around
Stay out of trouble won't you, though?'
The man in the shadows seemed friendly at first
He knew what Sally needed to hear
Soon she was hooked on something he shared
She lost the rest of that year
We need to stop just pulling people out of the river
We need to go upstream, and learn why they're falling in
We need to stop just pulling people out of the river
We need to go upstream, and learn why they're falling in
Harry and Sally
Quite ordinary
Just like you and me
Don't want it all on a plate
Just wanna get straight
Can't you see?
We need to stop just pulling people out of the river
We need to go upstream, and learn why they're falling in
We need to stop just pulling people out of the river
We need to go upstream, and learn why they're falling in
We need to stop just pulling people out of the river
Stop just pulling people out of the river
We need to stop just pulling people out of the river
We need to go upstream, and learn why they're falling in
