Hellbound Train (feat. Norbs Blade)

from THE ODD BOX (Album) by Garrington T Jones

/

about

Following a successful collaboration with Norbs Blade on
“Kings & Slaves” in December 2019, I returned the favour
and asked Norbs to contribute some rap lyrics to Hellbound
Train.

We released the track on 29th February 2020 as
bush fires blazed in Australia, civil unease was rife across
many nations and Covid-19 landed in Britain; thus creating
a song that was/is very much about our time.

lyrics

"Our house; is still on fire!"

Forty thousand ran the marathon,
And I've just done the same.
I'm standing in the Metro,
I'm waiting for that train.
So many people around me,
I'm feeling I'm caged in.
Will these wheels ever start rolling,
Will this journey ever begin?
Some say we're safe in the underground,
But I know we're riding on a Hellbound Train....
On a Hellbound Train.

Politicians see the future,
Or that is what they say.
But the working man in the street,
He has to pay their way.
Money's tight even if you have a job,
And your boss is always right.
Some say the tide is turning;
Some say there's going to be a fight.
Some say were travelling in hand-carts,
But I know we're riding on a Hellbound Train.....
On a Hellbound Train.

To hell with this hell, what the hell;
Are you ready to sell,
Your soul to this dying, it makes me sick,
I can't stand the smell;
Shell after shell in this cell,
Angels are executed inside us
Make room for demons and devil,
Pedal and spread the virus
Vote for mass murderer superstars, eyes wide open
In front of a spinning hypnosis wheel
You’re joking heartbroken
And chocking, inhaling smoke, dope,
And our planet is burning,
Presidents trying not lying... and pigs are flying bro…...

Earth Mother's on the back foot,
She's given all she's got.
But we take and we take from the underground,
It's never going to STOP!
Oil wells, they have run dry
And the forest have been lost
And the hungry mouths need feeding
We're going to pay the cost!
Some say that this is our brave new world,
But I know we're riding on a Hellbound Train;
On a Hellbound Train.
Yeah we're all riding together,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
On a Hellbound Train;
On a Hellbound Train.

You heard enough? You’ve seen enough?
I shut up before they put me in cuffs.
Take me to prison, freedom of speech,
Went soft like a mouldy peach.
Just carry on living while everything's dying,
Clap for the freak show and keep lying.
Hellbound train, passengers on chains,
Without names, numbers hitting the flames and burn...
Damn your Hellbound train...
Your Hellbound train...
Your Hellbound train...
Damn your Hellbound train...
Your Hellbound train...
Your Hellbound train...
Your Hellbound train;
I hope it will crash during your campaign
And your train goes down the drain...........
