Roll on the Day Lyrics by John Schumann

True Believers

0

Can't recall how
I came to be here
Or exactly what road I was on
When I looked around
Everyone else was gone
If you saw my children laugh
I know you'd understand
Signed a check that wasn't mine
Underpaid underhand
Roll on the morning
Roll on the day
Didn't seem to matter
How long I worked
We just got further behind
How much pressure
Can one man take
Before he steps across the line
Now there's three of us here
In this two-man cell
Got a picture of my wife and kids
On the wall
I see them every week
At half past three
They have to drag me away at four
Roll on the morning
Roll on the day
I've been walking my life
Between two white lines
Dealing the days
And stealing the nights
Marking the time
And watching the sky
Roll on the day
I was always taught
What's mine is mine
And let the other man's go
When the shakedown comes
And you do your sums
It's all down to who you know
Now there's very strange notions
Of justice here
As far as I can see
Thirty five thousand
Pulls a three year stretch
Steal a billion dollars
And you walk around free
Roll on the morning
Roll on the day
