The Road To Kingdom Come — текст песни (Stiff Little Fingers)

Your family can`t help you, they`re standing in your way
Tight restrictions, contradictions, more rules every day
Hold you down, they`ll hold you down, you`ve got to get away
London`s calling, no more stalling, sleeping in your own doorway

They never stop to reason, never question why
The world`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 realize, 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 realize 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)
