down and falling out,
part of growing up
Remember how you used to think
enough was not enough
Fueled 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
It could roll like a river
into the dirty sea
You could swim up
stream with me
You landed more than just a joke
You got the rest thrown in for free
A world of compromises, lies,
the whole mentality
Turn around, face the flow,
start a 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 died for
And we all walk blindly down
the well -worn way
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
You could swim up stream with me,
with me
It could roll like a river
It could roll
like a river
It could roll like a river
It could roll like a river
It could roll like a river
You could roll like a river
Oh, so it must be with me
You
