Roll On

One, two, three, four!

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, 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

The shipyards are deserted on the docks of 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-fueled riot

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

Runnin' from the outside, from the outside

Runnin' from the outside world

Yeah!

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, 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, roll on

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on

Roll on
