One Of The Living Lyrics By Tina Turner

    in the desert sun ev’ry step that you take could be the final one
    and in the burning heat
    hanging on the edge of destruction
    no
    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
    shoot bullets of fire
    don’t wanna fight
    but sometimes you’ve got to
    you’re some soul survivor
    and 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 you can’t stick together
    well
    you’re one of the living who’s gonna make it tonight
    walk tall
    cool
    collected
    but savage
    walk tall
    bruised
    sensual
    ravaged
    it’s ev’ry man for himself
    ev’ry woman
    ev’ry child
    a new breed
    ferocious and wild
    and all they wanna do is shoot bullets of fire
    they wanna fight
    but sometimes you’ve got to
    you’re some soul survivor
    and 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 you can’t stick together
    well
    you’re one of the living who’s gonna make it tonight
    you’re one of the living and if we can’t stick together
    well
    you’re one of the living who’s gonna make it tonight
    shoot bullets of fire

    you’re one of the living and if we can’t stick together

    you’re one of the living and if we can’t stick together

    you’re one of the living and if we can’t stick together
