Dead Kelly - The Shadows lyrics

A lifetime of toil just to get by Just another piece of timber chucked on the fire Burnt for anothers gain Always waiting for the rain Decisions conducted by fear Gotta get the fu*k out of here Somewhere along the line all hope was lost And the family would pay the cost In the blink of an eye the shadows take them Where do they go? In the end did it all mean something How do we know? Day by day the road forward begins to veer Stay the course stick to your guns at least for one more year Still tough on the outside the shadows creep in Thank fu*k for beer The home front is a civil war Making working hours ever long The drink becomes a heavy shield But the mind becomes a minefield In the blink of an eye the shadows take them Where do they go? In the end did it all mean something How do we know? Just waiting for the rain to come In the blink of an eye the shadows take them Where do they go? In the end did it all mean something How do we know? When it’s all said and done Was it all in vain? Burnt for another’s gain Or was it just another piece of timber chucked on the fire Waiting for the rain? Let the rain come down Let the rain come down Rain ya c*nt
