Stiff Little Fingers - Last Train From The Wasteland lyrics

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!
