"Up The Junction" lyrics

"Up The Junction"
(from "Up The Junction" soundtrack)

Day's begun and people rush
Off to work by 4:10 bus
Open eyes and open minds
Conditioned to the daily grind

Lots of people rush down the street
(Hello)
Lots of people rush down the street
(Hello)

Up the junction
Up the junction

Day's begun and people rush
Off to work by 4:10 bus
Through the factory gates they swarm
Similar clothes by all are worn
(Overalls like uniforms)

A sea of faces, young and old
Filling every crack and hole
Some are floating in a dream
But all go through the same routine
(Drifting in the human stream)

Up the junction
Up the junction

Open eyes and open minds
Conditioned to the daily grind
Stop to lock their dreams away
There's nothing new about today
(Only what the papers say)

Up the junction
Up the junction

Lots of people rush down the street
Meet friends and say, "Hello"
"It's not as nice as yesterday
The better weather's on the way"

Up the junction
Up the junction
Up the junction
Up the junction
Up the junction...
