Wrong way going down the one way road!

First single from The John Butler Trio’s upcoming album “April Uprising”,

released on November 2009.

They come they take

Its never enough because they cant relate

To the real world, thinking that the oyster is just for the pearl

They start those wars

They want to own the land sea and all the stars

And right those wrongs

they change their history with their poison forked tongues.

All right, whos they?

A maybe its the government of today

Or B for the big business man who thinks the whole world revolves around him

Or C for the corrupt official for A and B he be the man in the middle

Or D for discoverer for Cook and Columbus and the pirate plunderers.

Doesnt mean I aint got no fight now just because I dont got a gun

The lyrical is heavier than lead and this guitar is my canon

Just like my Martin and Mahatma I'm gonna love Im gonna over come

Maybe its E for all of the above but I dont want to be

Wrong way going down the one way road

Wrong way going down the one way road

Wrong way going down the one way road

Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

Wrong way going down the one way road

Wrong way going on a one way road

Wrong way going down the one way road

Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

These men who they say we should follow

BUT we cant follow men if their hearts are hollow and

Mmmm yes how can we respect puppet regimes we do not elect?

Straight up straight up like Pinocchio

And every time they lie man the fire just grows so

Nows time to be part of the solution

Raise your fist if you believe in revolution

Doesnt mean I aint got no fight now

Just because I dont got a gun

The lyrical is heavier than lead and

This guitar is my canon

Just like my Martin and Mahatma

I'm gonna love Im gonna over come

Maybe its E for all of the above but I dont want to be

Living in a pantomime, living in a fantasy

I dont want to be dont want to be

I dont want to be dont want to be no

Living in a pantomime, living in a fantasy

I dont want to be dont want to be

I dont want to be dont want to be no

Wrong way going down the one-way road

Wrong way going down the one-way road

Wrong way going down the one-way road

Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up

Wrong way going down the one-way road

Wrong way going on a one-way road

Wrong way going down the one-way road

Gonna turn it all around gonna back it on up!
