Road to Kingdom Come(Live) - 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 not get you away

And now you've been at last you've seen

And now I think you know that you've been

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

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

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

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

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
