Welcome Back Riders Lyrics

I ve seen my fair share of ghosts
But what scares me the most
Is seeing what s coming.
Growing older and giving up,
And I won t believe it. I won t believe it.
With sit-down strikes and gutters tonight,
There s nothing left in this town.
We ve all been sold, it s not rock and roll.
Don t beat us when we re down.

It s ok.
You didn t even listen in the first place.
Welcome back riders, it s another rat race.
All of your words are safe until the show,
And soon the world s gonna know.

An empty promise, so here s a toast.
From your empty office, no lawyer will take it.
This case is as good as closed
And I can t believe it, I can t believe it.
Away for years, and now you re here,
So tell them where you ve been.
Wait in line, enjoy the ride.
It s coming back again.

It s ok.
You didn t even listen in the first place.
Welcome back riders, it s another rat race.
All of your words are safe until the show,
And soon the world s gonna know.

These streets are the same to me.
These songs won t mean anything without a place to call our home.
A place to call our own.
I m staying tonight.
