Take Away These Early Grave Blues

Lyrics

[Intro: Poly Styrene (X-Ray Spex)] I don't think of myself as a girl singing rock and roll I just think of myself as a person doing something And that's it And I suppose other people think of it like that But I don't Well I don't know why they think of it like that That's just- they got closed minds, that's all [Chorus: Efrim Menuck] Take away these, take away these Take away these early grave blues Fatten up their, fatten up their, fatten up their policemen Let them sing our, let them sing our, let them sing our pretty song Take away these, take away these Take away these early grave blues [Verse 1] Pale man always gets his, pale man always gots his Boot on our necks Lightning from a cloud (Lightning from a cloud) Lightning from a cloud (Lightning from a cloud) How do we get, how do we get lightning from a cloud? (How do we get, how do we get lightning from a cloud?) With love and love dear, love and love dear Love and love dear, love and love dear Love and love dear, love and love dear Love and love dear, love and love dear [Verse 2] The world is awful cruel, the wrecked and worn get blue My love and I, and so do you And horses' necks straining true Hearts, these hearts just won't do My love and I, and so do you [Chorus] Take away these, take away these Take away these early grave blues Fatten up their, fatten up their, fatten up their policemen Let them sing our, let them sing our, let them sing our pretty song Take away these, take away these Take away these early grave blues [Verse 3] The sky goes cold while we get old Those selfish pricks won't ever know The simple joy of letting go The world is sick, we're born it We did it 'cause all we knew was this Pale man always gets his, pale man always gots his Boot on our necks [Outro] Love each other That's all
