In the Stream of Commerce (fall 1999 demo) Songtext
von Cave In

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
