Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Boys in blazers, union labor
The last of a life boat to get on
Leering drivers, weary lifers
And I wanna know is when we go on
[Verse 2]
'Cause we're traveling on
Sold for a song, we're traveling on
And it won't be long, till we're traveling on
[Verse 3]
Street-side smokers, holy rollers
Find me a toilet to die on
L.A., London, barely funded
Give me a wheel, and I'll ride on, ride on, ride on
[Verse 4]
'Cause we're traveling on
Sold for a song, we're traveling on
And it won't be long, till we're traveling on
We're traveling on
[Verse 5]
Fawning fanfare, nearly nowhere
Meet the new dauphin in Toulouse
No one knows you, nations loathe you
Please let me know when I can recuse myself if I choose
[Verse 6]
But we're traveling on
Sold for a song, we're traveling on
And it won't be long, we're traveling on
Sold for a song, we're traveling on
And it won't be long, till we're traveling on
We're traveling on, oh
We're traveling on, oh
