Roll On Lyrics

Roll On lyrics

Roll on *8
We'll roll on with our heads held high
Our conscience in the
gutter
Our dreams up in the sky
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!

We'll roll on with our heads held
high
Our conscience in the gutter
Our dreams up in the sky
We'll roll
on with our heads held high
Our conscience in the gutter
Our dreams up in
the sky

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
Roll on
Roll
on
We'll roll on with our heads held high
Our conscience in the
gutter
Our dreams up in the sky
We'll roll on with our heads held
high
Our conscience in the gutter
Our dreams up in the sky

Roll on
(to end)
