One of the Living lyrics
by Jeff Beck
[Verse 1]
In the desert sun
Ev'ry step that you take could be the final one
And in the burning heat
Hanging on the edge of destruction
No, you can't stop the pain of your children crying out in your head
Oh, they always said that the living would envy the dead
So now you're gonna shoot, shoot bullets of fire
Don't wanna fight, But sometimes you've got to
You're some soul survivor
And there's just one thing you've got to know:
You've got ten more thousand miles to go
[Chorus]
Because you're one of the living
And if you can't stick together
Well, you're one of the living
Who's gonna make it tonight?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hoo
[Verse 2]
Walk tall
Cool, collected
But savage
Walk tall
Bruised, sensual
Ravaged
It's ev'ry man for himself
Ev'ry woman, ev'ry child
A new breed, ferocious and wild
And all they wanna do is shoot bullets of fire
They wanna fight, but sometimes you've got to
You're some soul survivor
And there's just one thing you've got to know:
You've got ten more thousand years to go
[Chorus]
Because you're
One of the living, and if you can't stick together
Well, you're one of the living; who's gonna make it tonight?
You're one of the living, and if we can't stick together
Well, you're one of the living; who's gonna make it tonight?
Shoot bullets of fire
You're one of the living, and if we can't stick together
You're one of the living
And if you can't stick together (Can't stick together)
You're one of the living
Who's gonna make I together?
