Hungry Years

They came down from the north To the plough they were forged In the footsteps of a man who'd been before Brought up from the streets In the ranks of unemployed They had everything to gain but not to loose They searched the hungry years () For the triumph, for the tears It's a chance they had to take They were waiting for a break They searched the hungry years For the triumph, for the tears Some make it to the stars Playing rock and roll guitars Playing rock and roll guitars They read under the lights () To the jews and to the whites The systems gonna change and understand them The business world is deep For a percentage of the heat There was magic in the eyes They couldn't see the lies They watched it slowly die (Repeat) Some take the fame And some take the blame Maybe they will and maybe they won't Tonight... (Repeat) (Repeat)
