One Way Road Lyrics - April Uprising - John Butler

They come, they take 

It's never enough because they can't relate 

To the real world, 

Thinking that the oyster is just for the pearl 

They start those wars 

They want to own the land sea and all the stars 

And right those wrongs 

They change their history with their poison forked tongues 

All right, who's they? 

A maybe it's the government of today 

Or B for the big business man who thinks the whole world revolves around him 

Or C for the corrupt official for A and B he be the man in the middle 

Or D for discoverer for Cook and Columbus and the pirate plunderers 

Doesn't mean I ain't gonna fight now 

Just because I don't got a gun 

The lyrical is heavier than lead and 

This guitar is my canon 

Just like my Martin and Mahatma 

I'm gonna love I'm gonna over come 

Maybe it's E for all of the above 

But I don't want to be 

Wrong way going down the one way road 

Wrong way going down the one way road 

Wrong way going down the one way road 

Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up 

Wrong way going down the one way road 

Wrong way going on a one way road 

Wrong way going down the one way road 

Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up 

These men, who they say we should follow 

But we can't follow men if their hearts are hollow and 

Mmm yes how can we respect puppet regimes that we do not elect? 

Straight up straight up straight up like Pinocchio 

And every time they lie man the fire just grows so 

Now's time to be part of the solution 

Raise your fist if you believe in revolution 

Doesn't mean I ain't gonna fight now 

Just because I don't got a gun 

The lyrical is heavier than lead and 

This guitar is my canon 

Just like my Martin and Mahatma 

I'm gonna love I'm gonna over come 

Maybe it's E for all of the above 

But I don't want to be 

Livin' in a pantomime 

Livin' in the fantasy 

I don't wanna be don't wanna be 

I don't wanna be don't wanna be no 

Livin' in a pantomime 

Livin' in the fantasy 

I don't wanna be don't wanna be 

I don't wanna be don't wanna be no 

Wrong way going down the one way road 

Wrong way going down the one way road 

Wrong way going down the one way road 

Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up 

Wrong way going down the one way road 

Wrong way going on a one way road 

Wrong way going down the one way road 

Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
