One of the Living

Tina Turner

In the desert sun every step that you take could be the final one 
In the burning heat hanging on the edge of destruction 
You can't stop the pain of your children crying out in your head 
They always said that the living would envy the dead 

So now you're gonna shoot bullets of fire 
Don't want to fight but sometimes you've got to 
You're some soul survivor 
There's just one thing you've got to know 
You've got ten more thousand miles to go 

Because you're one of the living 
And if we can't stick together 
One of the living 
Who's gonna make it tonight 

Walk tall, cool, collected and savage 
Walk tall, bruised, sensual, ravaged 
It's every man for himself, every woman, every child 
A new breed, ferocious and wild 

And all they want to do is shoot bullets of fire 
They want to fight and sometimes you've got to 
You're some soul survivor 
There's just one thing you've got to know 
You've got ten more thousand years to go 

Because you're one of the living 
And if we can't stick together 
One of the living 
Who's gonna make it tonight
