(j.p. maunick)
In the early morning light you step into the cold
Your curses freeze mid airthe bus is late
You’ve got to get to work on timeyour job is on the line
Soon you’ll start againthe same routine
Deep inside your mindthe dreamers dream you’ll find
As the day is longit keeps you moving on
Trying to stay ahead as best you can
Sweep away the notion of a revolution
Do it for yourself
Chorus:
(there’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 do
As the light begins to fade and you’re heading back for home
Your head is hanging lowyou’re feeling blue
From the corner of your eyesunder neon lights you see
The old man in the snow with worn out shoes
Sweep away the notion of a revolution
Do it for yourself
Chorus
Repeat (fade)
