Roll Like A River - T.V. Smith

Falling down and falling out

Part of growing up

Remember how you used to think

Enough was not enough

Fuelled by the fantasy of having too much

Everything seemed to turn on this

Then the idea stuck

Well you could roll like a river

Into the dirty sea

Or you could swim upstream with me

You could roll like a river

Into the dirty sea

Or you could swim upstream with me

You landed more than just a job

Got the rest thrown in for free

A world of compromises lies

The whole mentality

Turn around and face the flow start to swim

The deeper they dig the hole the more of us fall in

Every door they open leads to another door

The good worker never gets what he's dying for

And we all walk blindly down the well worn way

The slave driver rules with the collusion of the slaves

Well you could roll like a river

Into the dirty sea

Or you could swim upstream with me

You could roll like a river

Into the dirty sea

Or you could swim upstream with me

With me

You could roll like a river

You could roll like a river

You could roll like a river

You could roll like a river

You could roll like a river

You could roll like a river

Or swim upstream with me
