I go to work to pay my bills,
To keep awake I take my pills
The cash keeps pouring through the tills,
I wonder where it goes
I'm just a slave to modern life,
I can't escape the constant strife
My luck ran out and trouble's rife,
That's how the river flows
That's how the river flows, I wonder where it goes
No-one ever knows, no-one ever knows
I'm on the edge, I'm on the brink,
I'm not as strong as people think
I hide my fear behind a drink
So nothing ever shows
When I was young I eyed the moon,
A dream that disappeared too soon
I never held the silver spoon and doors began to close
Doors began to close, so nothing ever shows,
No-one ever knows, no-one ever knows
The race was rigged, it wasn't fair,
I needed help but none was there
Cos someone took the lion's share,
A rich man's wealth just grows
The wave will break upon the shore,
The tide will turn, the mouse will roar
The world will shake unto its core,
But when – nobody knows
But when nobody knows, a rich man's wealth just grows
No-one ever knows, no, no-one ever knows!
But when nobody knows, a rich man's wealth just grows
No-one ever knows, no, no-one ever knows!
