Last Train From The Wasteland Lyrics - Stiff Little Fingers

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!
