Road to Kingdom Come

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) --- Road to Kingdom Come - Stiff Little Fingers
