Roll On Lyrics - Singles - The Living End

Roll on 

We'll roll on with our heads held high 

Our conscience in the gutter 

Our dreams up in the sky 

The ship yards are deserted on the docks on Melbourne town 

The wharfies standing strong 

They gathered round to see what the union had to say 

There's too much work and not enough pay 

Say! 

[Chorus] 

We'll protest in peace keep the whole thing quiet 

The last thing needed is a wage-fuelled riot 

'Cos they don't really care 

They're always standing there 

Running from the outside 

From the outside 

Running from the outside world 

Do you really care? 

Why are you standing there? 

Filming for the outside world 

Do you really care? 

Why are you standing there? 

Filming for the outside world 

Five weeks had passed when the union made it clear 

Spirits slowly faded and the end was getting near 

You see you're all expendable 

And when all is said and done 

You'll go back to work tomorrow 

Or meet your new replacement son 

Roll on 

[Chorus]
