| | | | | (x2) Musical ting call the Gravy Train Can't afford to miss this train Choo choo I said the train is coming Choo choo I said the train is coming Another day, another dollar   Feels like every day it's the same   And I've given it the best years of my life For someone else to ride on that Gravy Train And I say Here comes the Gravy Train   You can hear that whistle blowing round the bend   You can hear the sound of laughing As the Gravy Train is passing But that Gravy Train it won't be stopping here   They say we're all in this together But it gets harder every day (But it gets harder every day) And if I work for a hundred years or more I still won't get my seat on that Gravy Train And I say Here comes the Gravy Train   You can hear that whistle blowing round the bend   You can hear the sound of laughing As the Gravy Train is passing But that Gravy Train it won't be stopping here Choo choo I said the train is coming Choo choo I said the train is coming Choo choo I said the train is coming Choo choo I said the train is coming Put on some garments put on me suit Diamond socks with criss clark shoes Haff fi call taxi cause me nah miss the train Miss it one time say me nah miss it again Rich man living in his castle   Poor man begging at his gate If we can only get up And stand up for our rights We can send them all to hell on that Gravy Train Ya hear that! Yo yeah Here comes the Gravy Train   You can hear that whistle blowing round the bend   And the carriages are burning Just to keep the wheels turning But that Gravy Train is running out of steam Here comes the Gravy Train   You can hear that whistle blowing round the bend   You can hear the sound of laughing As the Gravy Train is passing But that Gravy Train it won't be stopping here Here comes the Gravy Train   You can hear that whistle blowing round the bend (Choo Choo Choo Choo)   You can hear the sound of laughing As the Gravy Train is passing But that Gravy Train it won't be stopping here Wine to the left, wine to the right Wine up front, wine a back Wine a go down, two time Step on the platform, right time Right place, right line It coulda rain, it coulda sunshine Train it a come, 10.45 Na miss the train, not dis yah time Choo choo I said the train is coming Choo choo I said the train is coming Choo choo I said the train is coming Choo Choo Choo Choo |  |  |   |  | |  |  | N.C. | N.C. | |  |  |   |  |  (x14) | | | | | (x2)

Du même artiste :

Cette chanson évoque le sentiment de travailler dur sans jamais vraiment profiter des fruits de ses efforts, laissant les plus riches s'installer confortablement dans leur succès. Le protagoniste exprime sa frustration face à une routine quotidienne où, malgré tous ses efforts, il semble toujours à côté de la "gravy train", cette métaphore pour une vie meilleure et plus prospère qui ne s'arrête jamais pour lui. Le contexte de cette œuvre peut faire écho à des luttes sociales et économiques, soulignant l'écart croissant entre les classes sociales. Les paroles parlent d'un désir de changement et d'une prise de conscience collective pour revendiquer ses droits. Dans une société où l'inégalité est prévalente, il est crucial de répondre à cet appel à l'action.
