Road To Kingdon Come Lyrics - Get A Life - 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)
