Dynamite |
LyricsLast call at the refugee tavernGet your coat before they turn on the lights Pound back that whiskey and hit the road We?ve had all we?re gonna get tonight My father?s house is just a pile of rubble There?s an armored car at the end of the street My brother crossed the line he?s in a world of trouble There?s no place left to go and there?s no retreat We?ve come to the end of the road There?s no use getting old We?re going out in a blaze of glory Tomorrow the papers will tell the whole story Like a stick of dynamite, a stick of dynamite Gonna blow this town tonight Like a stick of dynamite, a stick of dynamite Gonna blow this town tonight I was born in a cardboard shack I slept on the floor in pile of straw My daddy went to war and he never came back I used to think it was the luck of the draw But I hear the sirens in the distance And I hear the footsteps comin down the hall There?s nothing left for me but armed resistance We never had a lot but they took it all We?ve come to the end of the road There?s no use getting old We?re going out in a blaze of glory Tomorrow the papers will tell the whole story Like a stick of dynamite, a stick of dynamite Gonna blow this town tonight Like a stick of dynamite, a stick of dynamite Gonna blow this town tonight |
