Stopping All Stations Restrung (Explicit) - Hilltop Hoods[00:00:00]
Early morn train station aching from the arthritis[00:00:21]
This war veteran knows what a hard time is[00:00:24]
He needs his pension dementia and half blind is[00:00:27]
The reason he rides the train with no car license[00:00:30]
So he boards with an expired ticket has a swipe[00:00:32]
Gets a fine 'cos the change he got don't add up right[00:00:35]
We're taking about a man who never lived a lavish life[00:00:38]
Caught up in the age of computer chips and satellites[00:00:40]
A lovely lady boards looking tired and half awake[00:00:43]
He smiles she's reminds him of his wife that passed away[00:00:45]
She says something as she walks right past his way[00:00:48]
His old hearing aid don't last quite half the day[00:00:51]
Some young gentlemen alive with their laughter[00:00:53]
Approach the old timer and put a knife to his heart to[00:00:56]
Explain that money or bloods the price of their barter[00:00:58]
To a man whose friends probably died for their fathers[00:01:01]
Whatever it takes can justify[00:01:15]
Whatever ends we make whatever the price[00:01:17]
To the end of a life it's just an observation[00:01:20]
So take a ride we're stopping all stations[00:01:23]
It's been a long night the suns lifting on a cold[00:01:26]
Morning but she's drugged and drunk tripping on her stroll[00:01:28]
On the way home she's done stripping on a pole[00:01:31]
But she can't pay for her son living on the dole[00:01:33]
Jumps a train puts on her gloves she's wearing black[00:01:36]
Being watched by some old mug she's glaring back[00:01:39]
She's on edge and got the bug from sharing smack[00:01:42]
So she says Hey what the f**k you staring at[00:01:44]
He smiles an unsteady hand rubs on his dome[00:01:47]
She takes a seat a messy band of ruffs board alone[00:01:49]
To the digger with a machete at his lungs and he's prone[00:01:51]
He can barely stand but ready to stand up for his own[00:01:54]
She tries to help him she doesn't choose to flee the car[00:01:57]
And catches a blow with enough bruise to leave a scar[00:02:00]
She starts fainting the rooms moving and seeing stars[00:02:03]
Ain't it amazing how courageous human beings are[00:02:06]
Whatever it takes can justify[00:02:19]
Whatever ends we make whatever the price[00:02:21]
To the end of a life it's just an observation[00:02:24]
So take a ride we're stopping all stations[00:02:27]
He knows nothing but hard work and scraping by[00:02:30]
Looking for a purse or wallet so we can make a buy[00:02:32]
He hasn't been on the nod since this morning[00:02:35]
And he needs to touch the face of god[00:02:37]
His skin it's just crawling[00:02:38]
These peeps are sheep time to fleece the market[00:02:40]
Jumps a train with some friends sees an easy target[00:02:42]
An old man hard hit by age faint-hearted[00:02:45]
The kid pulls a knife like let's get started[00:02:48]
A girl steps he's like eat the carpet[00:02:51]
Laughs with his friend like she's retarded[00:02:53]
The old man stepped and swept the assailant[00:02:56]
Off his feet his head connected with the railing[00:02:58]
Your weak the old man said as the kid lay recovering[00:03:01]
Blubbering get to your feet I'll tell you another thing[00:03:04]
A real man never lays his hands on a woman[00:03:07]
A real man would know that no surprise that you wouldn't[00:03:09]
I didn't fight in two wars just so forty years later[00:03:12]
You'd have the freedom to rob me on the train this behaviour[00:03:14]
Doesn't fit with what I gave this country so cut me[00:03:17]
Won't live another day in a world that's so ugly[00:03:20]
So take a ride 'cos we're stopping all stations[00:03:31]
