[Verse 1]
Day's begun and people rush
Off to work by 4:10 bus
Open eyes and open minds
Conditioned to the daily grind

[Chorus]
Up the junction
Up the junction

[Verse 2]
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)

[Verse 3]
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 a human stream)

[Chorus]
Up the junction
Up the junction
[Verse 4]
Open eyes and open minds
Conditioned to the daily grind
Start to lock their dreams away
There's nothing new about today
(Only what the papers say)

[Chorus]
Up the junction
Up the junction

[Verse 5]
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"

[Outro]
Up the junction
Up the junction
Up the junction...
