Standing at the platform, ticket in my hand
Waiting for the V-Line to come and make her stand
Carriage doors slide open and it's time to take my seat
Who knows what I'll see on the train ride to Flinders Street?

Coming up on North Shore feel I've travelled back in time
Going past the Shell Refinery and the Ford Production Line
Just another empty factory now the jobs are obsolete
Yes I saw it all on the train ride to Flinders Street

And if your back is to your destination
Are you really going forward at all?
Got to get myself to Flinders Street Station
Before the final call

Million dollar mansions overlooking the bay
Right across from social housing we the downtrodden stay
Impoverished families just trying to make ends meet
Yes I saw it all on the train ride to Flinders Street

And if your back is to your destination
Are you really going forward at all?
Got to get myself to Flinders Street Station
Before the final call

And when the Ticker Master asked me where it was I was going
As he came along to check my fare
I answered confidently all the while knowing
Deep down I'm going nowhere

Coming out of Footscray, city in my sights
Cruising past the dockyards as the workers go on strike
Tired of the Government pulling the rug out from under their feet
Yes I saw it all on the train ride to Flinders Street

And if your back is to your destination
Are you really going forward at all?
Got to get myself to Flinders Street Station
Before the final call, before the final call
