Stiff Little Fingers - Last Train From the Wasteland lyrics

rate me

(J. Burns/B. Foxton)

Arise!

You've listened to too many liars too long

And too many were your masters

You've got the chance here to right all the wrong

Don't squander it on disaster

You're standing in a bright new dawn

Got hope and belief enough for everyone

Got the opportunity in your hand

Now use it while you can

Arise!

People have written you off many times

But you are a great survivor

And though you have suffered some terrible crimes

I know it's just made you stronger

You're standing on your own two feet

Got a morbid past but you've got it beat

Got the key for living sitting in your hand

Now use it while you can

Chorus:

You've got to hold on

To how you feel today

This is the last train from the wasteland

Arise!

And cynics will tell you there's problems ahead

But you go ahead and solve them

They'll fill you with doubt and suspicion and dread

But your strength can overcome them

You got to face the critics down

Any fool can give in but you can't bow down

You got too many lives and futures in your hand

So save them while you can

(Chorus)

And every road that I've walked down

I know your streets I know your towns

I think I know the way you feel

So stand up strong and proud

Fear is not the answer

Arise!

And though this is only the start I know

How long they have kept you waiting

No matter how far down the road you go

The first few steps, a new beginning

So grab the future with both hands

Nobody said it'd be the promised land

But you can make it better than it's ever been

So change it while you can

(Chorus x2)

Arise!

Last train

Last train

Last train

Last train

Last train

Arise!
