John Schumann - Roll On The Day lyrics

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
