The Kinks - Salvation Road lyrics
[The Kinks - Salvation Road lyrics]
Sung by everybody
Hear me brothers, hear me sisters
Citizens and comrades hear my song
The old life's dead, the order's changing
It's time for all of us to move along
I got no time to live a life
With old worn-out traditions
Swallowed my pride changed my ways
And found a new religion there you go
Sick and tired of living on loans
Driving around in a car that I don't own
Tired of looking at wealthy faces
Flying off to far out places
The workers of the world
Shall give the profit's to the people
Class will disappear
And we will live our lives as equals
There you go, oh, there you go
And we'll all walk along
And we'll all sing a song
And we'll all mark time as we go
Yes, we'll all walk along
And we'll all sing a song
As we walk down Salvation Road
Walk down Salvation Road
Goodbye youth, goodbye dreams
The good times and the friends I used to know
Goodbye freedom, hello fear
A brave new world has suddenly appeared
Got to be hard don't look back
And no more reminiscing times are rough
We've got to be tough
And concentrate on living there you go
Oh, there you go
And we'll all join hands
And we'll all march along
And we'll all mark time as we go
Yes, we'll all walk along
And we'll all sing a song
As we walk down Salvation Road
Yes, we'll all walk along
And we'll all sing a song
And we'll all mark time as we go
Yes, we'll all walk along
And we'll all sing a song
As we walk down Salvation Road
Walk down Salvation Road
Hear me brothers, hear me sisters
Citizens and comrades hear my song
The old life's dead, the order's changing
It's time for all of us to move along
I got no time to live a life
With old worn-out traditions
Swallowed my pride changed my ways
And found a new religion there you go
Sick and tired of living on loans
Driving around in a car that I don't own
Tired of looking at wealthy faces
Flying off to far out places
The workers of the world
Shall give the profit's to the people
Class will disappear
And we will live our lives as equals
There you go, oh, there you go
And we'll all walk along
And we'll all sing a song
And we'll all mark time as we go
Yes, we'll all walk along
And we'll all sing a song
As we walk down Salvation Road
Walk down Salvation Road
Goodbye youth, goodbye dreams
The good times and the friends I used to know
Goodbye freedom, hello fear
A brave new world has suddenly appeared
Got to be hard don't look back
And no more reminiscing times are rough
We've got to be tough
And concentrate on living there you go
Oh, there you go
And we'll all join hands
And we'll all march along
And we'll all mark time as we go
Yes, we'll all walk along
And we'll all sing a song
As we walk down Salvation Road
Yes, we'll all walk along
And we'll all sing a song
And we'll all mark time as we go
Yes, we'll all walk along
And we'll all sing a song
As we walk down Salvation Road
Walk down Salvation Road
