Same Old Rivers Lyrics

There are no vacancies

For lazy arsed complacency

The lost opportunities

To mis-heard immunity

So many sheep get side tracked

By hollow words and wise cracks

Hypnotised by the fragrancy

Of billy bullshit pou pouri

We drift along contented rivers

Into the seas of apathy

Where all fight and resistance withers

Devolve into the conscience free

Drifting down the same old rivers

Where nothing ever rocks the boat

Bodies bloat and minds grow thinner

Just satisfied to stay afloat

There's no escaping

The consequence of a ticking clock

It's hard to contemplate a change

Before my thumping heartbeat stops

You'll never beat a sneaky cheat

With a condescending tweet

It's just obvious and lame

You need to think about raising your game

Daren't breathe daren't make a sound

Scared to step from the merry go round

Water wings for obedient troops

Rebels all swimming in concreate boots

We drift along contented rivers

Into the seas of apathy

Where all fight and resistance withers

Devolve into the conscience free

Drifting down the same old rivers

Where nothing ever rocks the boat

Bodies bloat and minds grow thinner

Just satisfied to stay afloat
