Protection Lyrics - Graham Parker

So all of you be damned we can't have heaven crammed 

So Winston Churchill said I could have smacked his head 

And all of those infected waiting to be collected 

I must get out at any price before the feeling gets too nice 

CHORUS 

Just can't get, just can't get no protection 

Just can't get, just can't get no protection 

Just can't get, just can't get no Can't get no protection, 

protection, protection 

Every bomb is detonated every switch is thrown 

And everybody tells me don't be scared act as if you never cared 

So I wear a blank expression to conceal my real impression 

Turn off all the information radios just pick up that station

REPEAT CHORUS 

So turn off this sound I'm ready to go down 

I don't know myself, I don't you either 

You're full of disease it's something I discovered 

I know you've been mixing with Big Brother's brother 

It ain't the knife in the heart that tears you apart 

It's just the thought of someone 

It's just the thought of someone 

It's just the thought of someone sticking it in, sticking it in 

So if you think that's funny I'm not really laughng honey 

Your love letters are confetti I ripped them up my hands were sweaty 

And then those ghastly faces recur in nightmare places 

Happy hours come and go much too short and much too long 

CHORUS
