John Butler Trio - One Way Road lyrics

They come, they take It's never enough because they can't relate To the real world, thinking that the oyster is just for the pearl They start those wars They want to own the land sea and all the stars And right those wrongs They change their history with their poison forked tongues All right, whos they? A maybe it's the government of today Or B for the big business man who thinks the whole world revolves around him Or C for the corrupt official for A and B he be the man in the middle Or D for discoverer for Cook and Columbus and the pirate plunderers Doesn't mean I ain't gonna fight now Just because I don't got a gun The lyrical is heavier than lead and This guitar is my canon Just like my Martin and Mahatma I'm gonna love I'm gonna over come Maybe it's E for all of the above But I don't want to be Wrong way going down the one way road Wrong way going down the one way road Wrong way going down the one way road Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up Wrong way going down the one way road Wrong way going on a one way road Wrong way going down the one way road Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up These men, who they say we should follow But we can't follow men if their hearts are hollow and Mmmm yes how can we respect puppet regimes that we do not elect? Straight up straight up staight up like Pinocchio And every time they lie man the fire just grows so Nows time to be part of the solution Raise your fist if you believe in revolution Doesn't mean I ain't gonna fight now Just because I don't got a gun The lyrical is heavier than lead and This guitar is my canon Just like my Martin and Mahatma I'm gonna love I'm gonna over come Maybe it's E for all of the above But I don't want to be Livin' in a pantomime Livin' in the fantasy I don't wanna be don't wanna be I don't wanna be don't wanna be no Livin' in a pantomime Livin' in the fantasy I don't wanna be don't wanna be I don't wanna be don't wanna be no Wrong way going down the one way road Wrong way going down the one way road Wrong way going down the one way road Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up Wrong way going down the one way road Wrong way going on a one way road Wrong way going down the one way road Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up
