On this train heading north
we left our lives for a dream of something better
a dream we could achieve tonight
On this train heading for the border
Praise! the new world order
Safety for the rich - trickle down economics
But hide! 'cause cops are coming, hide!
The world is running wild
I hope we'll make it alive
You know I can see at the end of the tunnel - light!
Just hope it ain't police flashlights
On this train bound for glory
please at least let me tell my story
I never wanted to be living like a criminal
be dying like a dog at the age of 14
all I wanted was a job and a place to call my home
But hide! 'cause cops are coming, hide!
The world is running oh so wild
I hope we'll make it alive
You know I can see at the end of the tunnel - light!
Just hope it ain't police flashlights
On this train heading for the sky
when they shot me down I never bothered asking why
but now I fly fly fly fly fly
You know I can see at the end of the tunnel - light!
just hope it ain't an oncoming train
On this train heading north
we left our lives for a dream of something better
a dream they took away from us tonight
