Lyrics Rollerball - Ian Hunter

Rollerball

Just another day
When everything goes wrong
You know that feeling you get
When you’re done
My best years are behind me
My future is in doubt
They keep on putting those fences up
Trying to keep me out
Trying to keep me out
I heard the rumors
I hope they’re not true
There ain’t no depths
That they wouldn’t sink to
I’ve been told, after the corporate wars
Everybody’s obsolete
'Cause there ain’t no more
No there ain’t no more
Rollerball
Rollerball
Rollerball
She’s a good woman
But she’s easily led
They led her up the garden path
Right out of her head
She’s an academic
She’s got trophies on the wall
She’s got her P.H.D.
in hypocrisy
She can’t help herself
She’s gonna do well
They took away music
They took away art
They took away everything
That was close to her heart
I’ve been told, after the corporate wars
Everybody’s obsolete
'Cause there ain’t no more
No there ain’t no more
Rollerball
Rollerball
Rollerball
Too many people
Too many people
Too many people
Too many people
Just another loser
Washed up on the sand
Just another winner
With blood on his hands
Just another victim
At the alter of success
Just another victim of
Progress
Progress
Progress
Progress
They cut down the forest
They polluted the sea
They messed up the ozone
Now they’re looking for me
I’ve been told, after the corporate wars
Everybody’s obsolete
'Cause there ain’t no more
No there ain’t no more
Rollerball
Rollerball
Rollerball
You heard it here first
You heard it here first
You heard it here first
You heard it here first
