The Southbound Train

4 views

Lyrics

Liberty, laughing and shaking your head
 Can you carry the torch that'll bring home the dead?
 To the land of their fathers whose lives you have led
 To the station at the end of the town
 On the southbound train going down.
 Equality, quietly facing the fist
 Are you angry and tired that your point has been missed?
 Will you go in the back-room
 And study the list
 Of the gamblers using the phone
 On the southbound train going down
 Fraternity, failing to fight back the tears
 Will it take an eternity breaking all the fears?
 And what will the passenger do when he hears-
 That he's already paid for the crown
 On the southbound train going down.
