The river pushes me along I've come to spread the word of God The darkest heart of all the earth (Two years in deepest darkest jungle won't do anyone no harm) I'll never care if I was wrong These people need my paradise (Ten thousand years without my God and the malaria is killing) Who else will speak on their behalf And reckon sins they don't accept (Two thousand years of human progress made without Messiah's blessing) They'll listen well or pay the price Down the river, I'm received They seem to me to be confused As though I've come from up above (What kind of Heaven must these animals think holds their great salvation) Whatever heaven they've conceived It's time to right their heathen ways (Who else to tell them eating brains is something they should not be doing) The book I carry gives me strength A way to calm these nerves of glass (Why should I let these nerves of mine be rattled by these simple creatures) To help me meet their savage gaze The river The river pushes me along The river The river pushes me along For weeks they've catered to my needs My every hunger is fulfilled I am the god I swore to bring I say the word, they sow the seeds And now a sacrificial rite Before me they construct a fire A willing virgin offered up A feast to start my sacred night The screams are drowned by their applause They beg for comfort and for grace They set the dinner out for all There's just one thing that gives me pause On wooden plates they serve the meat A meal for all the tribe and more But half the platters wait for me The god who stayed for them to eat They're eating her And then they're going to eat me Oh my God
