One of the Living Lyrics
In the desert sun
Every step that you take could be the final one
In the burning heat
Hanging on the edge of destruction
You can't stop the pain of your children
Crying out in your head
They always said the living
Would envy the dead
So now you're gonna shoot
Bullets of fire
Don't want to fight - but sometimes you got to
You're some sole survivor
N' there's just one thing you've got to know
You got ten more thousand miles to go
Because you're
One of the living
N' if we can't stick together
One of the living
Who's gonna make it tonight?
(Yeah, yeah, yahoo)
Walk tall - cool, collected but savage
Walk tall - bruised, sensual...ravaged
It's every man for himself
Every woman, every child
A new breed...ferocious and wild
N' all they want to do is
Shoot bullets of fire
They want to fight...and sometimes you got to
You're some sole survivor
N' there's just one thing you've got to know
You've got ten more thousand years to go
Beacause you're
One of the living
N' if we can't stick together
One of the living
Who's gonna make it tonight?
Every step that you take could be the final one
In the burning heat
Hanging on the edge of destruction
You can't stop the pain of your children
Crying out in your head
They always said the living
Would envy the dead
So now you're gonna shoot
Bullets of fire
Don't want to fight - but sometimes you got to
You're some sole survivor
N' there's just one thing you've got to know
You got ten more thousand miles to go
Because you're
One of the living
N' if we can't stick together
One of the living
Who's gonna make it tonight?
(Yeah, yeah, yahoo)
Walk tall - bruised, sensual...ravaged
It's every man for himself
Every woman, every child
A new breed...ferocious and wild
N' all they want to do is
Shoot bullets of fire
They want to fight...and sometimes you got to
You're some sole survivor
N' there's just one thing you've got to know
You've got ten more thousand years to go
Beacause you're
One of the living
N' if we can't stick together
One of the living
Who's gonna make it tonight?

This is one of my favorite Tina songs. It's from the soundtrack of Mad Max 3. It tells the story of the survivors of the apocalypse and how they have to push forward and fight in order to survive. No matter how hard you fight you still have a hard road ahead of you. Great Song!!
:) Tina Rocks!
