They came down from the north | |
To the plough they were forged | |
On the traces of a man who'd been before | |
Right up from the street | |
Came the ranks of unemployed | |
Then everything became the hungry years | |
They searched the hungry years (*) | |
For the triumphs by the fears | |
There's a chance they had to take | |
They were waiting for a break | |
They searched the hungry years | |
For the triumphs by the fears | |
Some make it to the stars | |
Playing rock and roll guitars | |
Playing rock and roll guitars | |
They read under the lights (**) | |
To the jews and to the whites | |
The systems gonna change and understand them | |
The business world is deep | |
For a percentage of the heat | |
There was magic in the eyes | |
They couldn't see the lies | |
They watched it slowly die | |
(Repeat *) | |
Some take the fame | |
And some take the blame | |
Maybe they will and maybe they won't | |
Tonight... | |
(Repeat **) | |
