Rich Brown - Full Steam Ahead Lyrics

By the river
That you sold to me
'I got bills to pay'
'I've got mouths to feed'

You turned them away
Put the shutters down
'They had bills to pay'
'They had lives to lead'

You hear the ship
Breaking on the rocks
As we sail straight
On the same old course

Lessons learned
And lessons that were lost
As we sail straight
On the same old course

Took 40 years
Just to salt the earth
You wanted it
And we paid for it

You can't reach out
If it's not there
You wanted this
And we pay for it

Selling maps
Of the shifting tide
To those with power
Not those that died

Pay the piper
To spin your lies
Cover your head
And close your eyes
