The Chameleons - Return of the Roughnecks lyrics

Up and down, these days are up and down, they call it elevated living A faster future for a faster breed; unforgiving, unfulfilling The spirit's willing but the mind is weak; I had an empty education I want to speak but when I try to speak it doesn't help the situation And some they fly while others fall And some they walk while others crawl. It stops them feeling small. That's all Shake your hand, they'll always shake your hand without a moment's hesitation Burning bridges and snapping strands that support a generation You want to climb but when you try to climb you see the ladder getting shorter You want to drink but when you try to drink there's someone pissing in the water The soul is something they can buy So "softly step inside", says the spider to the fly. "Nice try" And every day you're crucified If you can't look them in the eye, smile and wave goodbye. "Nice try" "Nice try" Vices embraced in times of crisis Sweet vices embraced in times of crisis. That's all. That's all That's all
