Return Of The Roughnecks Lyrics - Singles - Chameleons

Up and down 

These days are up and down 

They call it elevated living 

A faster future for a faster breed 

Unforgiving unfulfilling 

The spirit's willing 

But the mind is weak 

I had an empty education 

I want to speak 

But when I try to speak 

It doesn't help the situation 

And some they fly while others fall 

And some they walk while others crawl 

It stops them feeling small 

That's all 

Shake your hand 

They'll always shake your hand 

Without a moments hesitation 

Burning bridges 

And snapping strands 

That support a generation 

You want to climb 

But when you try to climb 

You see the ladder getting shorter 

You want to drink 

But when you try to drink 

There's someone pissing in the water 

The soul is something they can buy 

So softly step inside 

Says the spider to the fly 

Nice try 

And every day you're crucified 

If you can't look them in the eye 

Smile and wave goodbye 

Nice try 

Vices embraced in times of crisis 

Sweet vices embraced in times of crises 

That's all
