Graham Parker - Here it comes again LYRICS

Capo at 2
Am
Let's talk about a criminal procedure
Am
throw out the idea of illegal seizure

G Am
put a rope around somebody's neck

let's hold some bastard up for example

take his blood and a urine sample
feed him garbage and make him pick up the check


chorus

well, here it comes here it comes, here it,
here, here, here it comes again (twice)

While you were sleeping the neighbors crept in
saw you were naked and called it a sin

The next thing you know... it's the next thing you know


men they poked their heads in your kitchen door
smelt something burning and they were sure

it must be the flag you were burning that's what they swore


chorus repeat


They tell you the preacher was hypocritical

what they don't tell you is that he's typical

what he stands for is totally mythical

and as they lead him away he'll pray for you brother

with a bible in one hand and playboy in the other

imagine what he does to his mother


chorus repeat


They tell you they wanna give the right to life

To millions of jerks who will live by the knife

Who'll beat up their children and beat up their wives


Now don't write poetry it's an offense
unless it falls to the right of the fence

you'll wind up a victim of zero tolerance

let's hold some bastard up for example
take his blood and a urine sample
remind him that man belongs down a man hole (three times) and then
ah yeah, get on down.
