don't get me started

don't get me started on politicians

and the lies they spread

don't even mention sex and religion

and who they take to bed

but if you see me running down the street

know where i'm running to

i'm tired of honesty being denied us

i'm coming looking for you

don't hold me down

i'm on my way

and nothing's gonna turn me round

don't turn around

give it to me straight

i'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me

i'll hold my ground

wild horses won't make me

don't get me started on information

magazines and t.v. there's one man under his big umbrella

while it's raining on you and me

everyday it's getting harder to judge

fiction from fact

i'm tired of truth being denied me

it's mine and i want it back

don't hold me down

i'm on my way

and nothing's gonna turn me round

don't turn around

give it to me straight

i'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me

i'll hold my ground

wild horses won't make me

business as usual in our pressure steamer

where reality slips from view

they say that we can't take it

i think i can

can you?

don't get me started on blood and thunder

with people flying blind

not caring what or who they take with them

or what they leave behind

it's one mans god against another

while the river of tears roll by

the things they do in the name of their father

can someone tell me why

don't hold me down

i'm on my way

and nothing's gonna turn me round

don't turn around

give it to me straight

i'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me

i'll hold my ground

don't get me started
