Get Up Off Our Knees Lyrics - Singles - Housemartins

Get Up Off Our Knees 

Housemartins 

Famines will be famines, 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 

Time to end the praying 

Listen what they're saying 

Get up off your knees 

You can wag your finger till your finger's sore 

Shake your head till it shakes no more

Paupers will be paupers, bankers will be bankers 

Some own pennies in a jar, some own oil tankers 

What may sound like tomorrow could be ours today 

There's no more need for sorrow if we get off our knees to pray 

Time to end the praying 

Listen what they're saying 

Get up off your knees 

You can wag your finger till your finger's sore 

Shake your head till it shakes no more

Countries will be countries, borders will be borders 

Some have lost their folks at war, some have give orders 

Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away 

Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today 

Time to end the praying 

Listen what they're saying
