lyrics

A lifetime of toil just to get by
Just another piece of timber chucked on the fire
Burnt for anothers gain
Always waiting for the rain
Decisions conducted by fear
Gotta get the fuck out of here

Somewhere along the line all hope was lost
And the family would pay the cost

In the blink of an eye the shadows take them
Where do they go?
In the end did it all mean something
How do we know?

Day by day the road forward begins to veer
Stay the course stick to your guns at least for one more year
Still tough on the outside the shadows creep in
Thank fuck for beer

The home front is a civil war
Making working hours ever long
The drink becomes a heavy shield
But the mind becomes a minefield

In the blink of an eye the shadows take them
Where do they go?
In the end did it all mean something
How do we know?

Just waiting for the rain to come

In the blink of an eye the shadows take them
Where do they go?
In the end did it all mean something
How do we know?
When it’s all said and done
Was it all in vain?
Burnt for another’s gain
Or was it just another piece of timber chucked on the fire
Waiting for the rain?

Let the rain come down

Let the rain come down

Rain ya cunt
