Peace Lyrics

Crash on the levee, mama,
There will be a collision at the riverbank, mother,

Water's gonna overflow,
The water will surpass its limits,

Swamp's gonna rise,
The swamp will rise significantly,

No boat's gonna row.
Boats won't be able to move in this high tide.

Now, you can train on down To Williams Point,
You may take the train to reach Williams Point,

You can bust your feet, You can rock this joint.
You can dance a lot or be involved in events there,

But oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
But mother, will you not miss your closest companion now?

You're gonna have to find yourself Another best friend, somehow.
You have to locate someone else to fill the gap in your life, in some way.

Now, don't you try an' move me, You're just gonna lose.
Do not attempt to persuade me, you will only fail.

There's a crash on the levee And, mama, you've been refused.
There is a hazardous situation at the riverbank, and mother, you're not permitted to get involved.

Well, it's sugar for sugar And salt for salt,
People are involved in quid pro quo relationships,

If you go down in the flood, It's gonna be your own fault.
If you get caught in the flood, you're entirely responsible.

Well, that high tide's risin', Mama, don't you let me down.
That high tide is increasing, mother, do not disappoint me.

Pack up your suitcase, Mama, don't you make a sound.
Hurry and pack, mother, do not make any noise.

Now, it's king for king, Queen for queen,
There is a hierarchy to follow,

It's gonna be the meanest flood That anybody's seen.
This flood would be the most brutal that anyone has experienced.

Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
But mother, will you not miss your closest companion now?

Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself Another best friend, somehow.
You have to locate someone else to fill the gap in your life, in some way.
