Hilltop Hoods - Stopping all stations

^AmEarly morn, train station, aching from the arthritis, ^EmThis war veteran knows what a hard time is, ^CHe needs his pension, dementia and half blind is, ^GThe reason he rides the train with no car license, ^AmSo he boards with an expired ticket has a swipe, ^EmGets a fine cos the change he got don't add up right, ^CWe're taking about a man who never lived a lavish life, ^GCaught up in the age of computer chips and satellites, ^AmA lovely lady boards looking tired and half awake, ^EmHe smiles, she's reminds him of his wife that passed away, ^CShe says something as she walks right past his way, ^GHis old hearing aid don't last quite half the day, ^AmSome young gentlemen alive with their laughter, ^EmApproach the old timer and put a knife to his heart to, ^CExplain that money or bloods the price of their barter, ^GTo a man whose friends probably died for their fathers.

^AmWhatever it takes can justify, ^EmWhatever ends we make, whatever the price, ^CTo the end of a life, it's just an observation, ^GSo take a ride we're stopping all stations.

^AmIt's been a long night the suns lifting on a cold, ^EmMorning but she's drugged and drunk tripping on her stroll, ^COn the way home, she's done stripping on a pole, ^GBut she can't pay for her son living on the dole, ^AmJumps a train puts on her gloves she's wearing black, ^EmBeing watched by some old mug she's glaring back, ^CShe's on edge and got the bug from sharing smack, ^GSo she says, "Hey, what the fuck you staring at'" ^AmHe smiles, an unsteady hand rubs on his dome, ^EmShe takes a seat, a messy band of ruffs board alone, ^CTo the digger with a machete at his lungs and he's prone, ^GHe can barely stand but ready to stand up for his own, ^AmShe tries to help him she doesn't choose to flee the car, ^EmAnd catches a blow with enough bruise to leave a scar, ^CShe starts fainting, the rooms moving and seeing stars, ^GAin't it amazing how courageous human beings are'

^AmWhatever it takes can justify, ^EmWhatever ends we make, whatever the price, ^CTo the end of a life, it's just an observation, ^GSo take a ride we're stopping all stations.

^AmHe knows nothing but hard work and scraping by, ^EmLooking for a purse or wallet so he can make a buy, ^CHe hasn't been on the nod since this morning, ^GAnd he needs to touch the face of god, his skin it's just crawling, ^AmThese peeps are sheep, time to fleece the market, ^EmJumps a train with some friends, sees an easy target, ^CAn old man hard hit by age, faint-hearted, ^GThe kid pulls a knife, like let's get started, ^AmA girl steps he's like eat the carpet, ^EmLaughs with his friend like she's retarded, ^CThe old man stepped and swept the assailant, ^GOff his feet, his head connected with the railing, ^AmYour weak the old man said as the kid lay recovering, ^EmBlubbering, get to your feet I'll tell you another thing ^CA real man never lays his hands on a woman, ^GA real man would know that, no surprise that you wouldn't, ^AmI didn't fight in two wars just so forty years later, ^EmYou'd have the freedom to rob me on the train this behaviour, ^CDoesn't fit with what I gave this country so cut me, ^GWon't live another day in a world that's so ugly.
