Lyrics

[Verse 1] You'll go right where you've got to There was no good reason not to Killer nights you would have died for To consider and provide for To protect and take good care of They were never made aware of What they were putting you through So you did what you had to [Chorus] And you held your head high You kept it down and get through it They wanted to control you, but they couldn't You just wouldn't let them do it No, you couldn't and you knew it Not on your watch, not in this life No, not Hugo's wife [Verse 2] There were rules out on the front stairs Acquisitions based on their affairs Ignorance that was appalling Which it was when they came calling With the list they put you onto Who do who and why they want to Ruin more than just careers There were rules on the front stairs [Chorus] And you held your head high You kept it down and get through it They wanted to control you, but they couldn't You just wouldn't let them do it No, you couldn't and you knew it Not on your watch, not in this life No, not Hugo's wife [Bridge] Are you not or have you ever been? Is there anyone that you'll turn in? Our best advice would be to save yourselves Don't be shy, lie and comply Sit by while the accusations fly Free and forward thinking's being shelved The radicals were refugees There really were no guarantees Like sanity and logic would return Political audacity That will go down in history A lesson that we really didn't learn [Chorus] And you held your head high You kept it down and get through it They wanted to control you, but they couldn't You just wouldn't let them do it No, you couldn't and you knew it Not on your watch, not in this life No, not his wife No, not Hugo's wife [Outro] Not Hugo's wife No, not Hugo's wife
