get up off our knees
Singer:housemartins, the
banquets will be banquets
some spend winter in a palace
some spend it in blankets
don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today
listen what they're saying
you can wag your finger till your finger's sore
shake your head till it shakes no more
some own pennies in a jar
what may sound like tomorrow could be ours today
there's no more need for sorrow if we get off our knees to pray
listen what they're saying
you can wag your finger till your finger's sore
shake your head till it shakes no more
countries will be countries
some have lost their folks at war
don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today
listen what they're saying
