Roll On

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll onWe'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 skyThe 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, sayWe'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 skyWe'll protest in peace, keep the whole thing quiet

The last thing needed is a wage-fueled riot

'Coz they don't really care, they're always standing there

Running from the outside, from the outside

Running from the outside worldDo 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 worldFive weeks had passed when the union made it clear

Spirits slowly faded and the end was getting near

You see you're all expendable when all is said and done

You'll go back to work tomorrow, meet your new replacement sonRoll on

Roll on

Roll onWe'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 skyRoll on

Roll on

Roll on
