Rollerball Songtext / Lyric

(Ian Hunter)



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
