Strum
D-DU-UDU
There was the stage
Two red lights and a dodgy P.A.
You trod the planks way back then
And it's strange that you're here again, here again
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
And defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again
Don't, don't explain
Lots of little victories take on the pain
It takes so long to earn
You can double up or you can burn, you can burn
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
And defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
Cause they're taking the food off your table
So they can say that the trains run on time
Flashing lights, it's a real show
And your wife, I wouldn't go home
The little bundles need care
And you can't be a father there, father there
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
And defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again
Show them you can be your own man again
And I wish, I wish I knew the right words
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
Cause they're taking the food off your table
So they can say that the trains run on time
Another man there was made the trains run on time
