Lyrics
We've been buyin' our tickets for the Peacetrain
Livin' it up in this overloaded boxcar
Thinkin' about another bloody revolution
And we're gonna give it up
We're gonna give it up to another generation
Tired of spendin' my money on a heartache
Wanting to live past the age of 34
Wonderin' what the hell it's all been for
We've been waitin' for the train
Waitin' for the train
Doin' whatever it takes
Doin' what it takes
Spinning my wheels 'til the spindle breaks
Rustin' out here in the rain
Wait for the train
I ain't gonna wait no more
We've been standin' in a lobby for a long time
Diggin' for change for another Coca-Cola
Countin' the tiles with our heads down
Weaving through the new crowd
We're gonna leave it up
We're gonna leave
It up to the presidents and peaceniks
One in the same, the whole damn ball of wax
Givin' it up on the love trend
Money is the godsend
Of every man of freedom in the welfare state
We're waitin' for the train
Waitin' for the train
Doin' whatever it takes
Doin' what it takes
Spinning my wheels 'til the spindle breaks
Rustin' out here in the rain
Just waitin' for the train
We've been buyin' our tickets for the Peacetrain
Livin' it up in this overloaded boxcar
Thinkin' about another bloody revolution
And we're gonna give it up
Waitin' in a line up for a long time
Diggin' for change for another Coca-Cola
Thinkin' all about the miles I've been missin
I've been waitin' for the train, waitin' for the train
Doin' whatever it takes, doin' what it takes
Spinning my wheels 'til the spindle breaks
Rustin' out here in the rain
I've been waitin' for the train, waitin' for the train
Doin' whatever it takes, doin' what it takes
Spinning my wheels 'til the spindle breaks
Rustin' out here in the rain
Waitin' for the train
Waitin' for the train
Waitin' for the train
Waitin' for the train
Wake it up! Wake it up! Wake it up! Wake it up! Wake it up! Wake it up now
Rain on me
