Crawling on the outside
Looking for the thrill
No living on the inside
No life, no skill

Living in danger
Living on the streets
There's no end in sight
Tough life, bad treats

We're the scum of society
That's what they're saying
Losing ground and priority
But we are human beings

Riding on a freight train
Dancing on a wire
Riding on a freight train
Lost souls burn in fire

Riding on a freight train
Dancing on a wire
Riding on a freight train
Unfulfilled desire

Struggling in the city
All over the land
There seems to be no turning back
Into normal life
Living on the wild side
Living on your own
Please help me out of here
Can't stand the pain no more

We're the scum of society
That's what they're saying
Losing ground and priority
But we are human beings

Riding on a freight train
Dancing on a wire
Riding on a freight train
Lost souls burn in fire

Riding on a freight train
Dancing on a wire
Riding on a freight train
Unfulfilled desire
Whoa!

Riding on a freight train
Dancing on a wire
Riding on a freight train
Lost souls burn in fire

Riding on a freight train
Dancing on a wire
Riding on a freight train
Unfulfilled desire
Whoa!
