In the early morning light, you step into the cold
Your curses freeze mid air, the bus is late
You've got to get to work on time, your job is on the line
Soon you'll start again, the same routineDeep inside your mind
The dreamers dream you'll find
As the day is long, it keeps you moving on
Trying to stay ahead as best you canSweep away the notion of a revolution
Do it for yourselfThere's no stoppin'
Living against the river
Do what you do, what you do
Got to keep pushing
When you're living against the river
Do what you do, what you doAs the light begins to fade
And you're heading back for home
Your head is hanging low
You're feeling blueFrom the corner of your eyes
Under neon lights you see
The old man in the snow
With worn out shoesSweep away the notion of a revolution
Do it for yourselfThere's no stoppin'
Living against the river
Do what you do, what you do
Got to keep pushing
When you're living against the river
Do what you do, what you doSweep away the notion of a revolution
Do it for yourselfThere's no stoppin'
Living against the river
Do what you do, what you do
Got to keep pushing
When you're living against the river
Do what you do, what you doThere's no stoppin'
Living against the river
Do what you do, what you do
Got to keep pushing
When you're living against the river
Do what you do, what you doThere's no stoppin'
Living against the river
Do what you do, what you do
Got to keep pushing
When you're living against the riverThere's no stoppin'
Living against the river
Do what you do, what you do
Got to keep pushing
