In the Stream of Commerce (2025 Remaster)

No matter how many times we paint over the walls

The writing still shines through

No matter how many times we paint over these walls

In the stream of commerce, we're afloat

A thousand washed-up rockers crash these banks

Oh, no

In the stream of commerce, we're afloat

And unafraid to sail a sinking boat

And honestly, my hand is on the plug

It says here, right on my dotted line

Haste creates waste

Keep your eyes on the road

You might be able to drive

Now, you're so lucky to be alive

Alive

No matter how many times we paint over the walls

The writing still shines through

No matter how many times we paint over these walls

In the stream of commerce, we're afloat

Miles of red tape have choked us dead

Now, it's building like a nasty mold

And everyone can't help but catch the cold

Aaah

All the writing on the wall shines through

Aaah

All the while we knew

Haste creates waste

Keep your eyes on the road

You might be able to drive

Now, you're so lucky to be alive

No one to drive

Now, you're so lucky to be alive

Alive

Now, you're so lucky to be alive

No one to drive

Haste creates waste

Keep your eyes on the road

You might like to drive
