Roll On Lyrics

Roll On lyrics

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
