In the early morning light, you step into the cold

Your curses freeze mid air, the bus is late

You've got to get to work on time, your job is on the line

Soon you'll start again, the same routine Deep inside your mind

The dreamers dream you'll find

As the day is long, it keeps you moving on

Trying to stay ahead as best you can Sweep away the notion of a revolution

Do it for yourself There's no stoppin'

Living against the river

Do what you do, what you do

Got to keep pushing

When you're living against the river

Do what you do, what you do As the light begins to fade

And you're heading back for home

Your head is hanging low

You're feeling blue From the corner of your eyes

Under neon lights you see

The old man in the snow

With worn out shoes Sweep away the notion of a revolution

Do it for yourself There's no stoppin'

Living against the river

Do what you do, what you do

Got to keep pushing

When you're living against the river

Do what you do, what you do Sweep away the notion of a revolution

Do it for yourself There's no stoppin'

Living against the river

Do what you do, what you do

Got to keep pushing

When you're living against the river

Do what you do, what you do There's no stoppin'

Living against the river

Do what you do, what you do

Got to keep pushing

When you're living against the river

Do what you do, what you do There's no stoppin'

Living against the river

Do what you do, what you do

Got to keep pushing

When you're living against the river There's no stoppin'

Living against the river

Do what you do, what you do

Got to keep pushing
