In the Stream of Commerce

Lyrics

No matter how many times we paint over the walls The writing still shines through No matter how many times we paint over these walls In the stream of commerce we're afloat A thousand washed-up rockers trash these banks Oh no In the stream of commerce we're afloat And unafraid to sail a sinking boat Honestly my hand is on the plug It says here right on my dotted line Haste creates waste Keep your eyes on the road You might be able to drive Now you're so lucky to be alive Alive No matter how many times we paint over the walls The writing still shines through No matter how many times we paint over these walls In the stream of commerce we're afloat Miles of red tape have choked us dead Now it's building like a nasty mold And everyone can't help but catch the cold All the writing on the wall shines through All the while we knew Haste creates waste Keep your eyes on the road You might be able to drive Now you're so lucky to be alive No one to drive Now you're so lucky to be alive Alive Now you're so lucky to be alive No one to drive Haste creates waste Keep your eyes on the road You might like to drive
