Stiff Little Fingers - The Road To Kingdom Come lyrics

Your family can't help you They're standing in your way Tight restrictions, contradictions More rules every day Hold you down, they hold you down You've got to get away London's calling, no more stalling Sleeping in your own doorway Never stop to reason Never question why The word's out there and they don't care Still you're gonna try Hold you down, they hold you down They'd never let you go And now you've been, at last you've seen And now I think you know That you've been... [Chorus:] Running down the road to kingdom come (Wouldn't believe me) Never gave a thought To all the people That you're running from Running down the road to kingdom come (Who'd've believed it) And all the time you only want a home Your countrymen are peasants You hate to have them near You just can't seem to realise You've got nothing to fear Hold them down, you'll hold them down You'll keep them in their place It's hard to find a land so blind It turns on its own race And you're still... [Chorus] I wish to god That someone here could help you I wish someone could help you sort your fate But you must do all the things you feel you have to And when we realise it's too damn late This world is too damn idle It has to pay its way Cut down the trees and clear the seas Let's live for today Hold it down, we'll hold it down That preservation noise Cause after all it won't be long We'll hear nothing at all And we're all..... [Chorus repeat]
