about

definitely a very very anti-war anti-conscription song about the australian soldier and how he died so often for things he didn't understand, and as usual, the super-rich, the world leaders in their stupidity and greed, they did it.

lyrics

I’m not bound for glory but that’s the train i ride
i am just a pilgrim trying to reach the other side
down at the railway station the townspeople come out to meet by the bands playing waltzing matilda the wind is up in the gum trees… there’s a flag for my blanket and a pine box for my bed and that’s where they will find me up in the luggage van ahead… for they took me from my home to some foreign land… and now I’m lost in no mans land beneath their banner of freedom
‘so I’m not bound for glory but thats the train i ride
i am just a pilgrim lord trying to reach the other side
at long tan and anzac cove, on the shores of tripoli
lone pine and kokoda, that’s where they send me
‘so I’m not bound for glory but thats the train i ride
i am just a pilgrim lord trying to reach the other side

beneath the stars of the southern cross
its the rich who makes the laws
and they’ll sacrifice the working man
to unleash their dogs of war
‘so I’m not bound for glory but thats the train i ride
i am just a pilgrim lord trying to reach the other side
thats the train i ride thats the train thats the train
i ride thats the train train i ride thats the train i ride
thats the train traIN I RIDE TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN.
