Lyrics
when you look around at the unfriendly faces choked and alone by the built up places
maybe just be you're going to a better life
Can you understand about the cold and the hunger at the en of the day you ain't got any younger
maybe just maybe you're going to a better life
Going to a better life
going to a better life
going to a better life
going to a better life maybe a better life baby
and you don't care anymore
you don't don't question what it's for
cos they have taken everything away
yeah they have taken everything away
if these are good times let them roll
and when the bad times take their toll
i wonder if they'll want to know you then
I wonder if you'll want to know them
