Don't Let 'em Get You
Don't let em get you Don't let em get you Don't let em get you anymore They shut you out with a sword in their hand Keeping the gate for the holy land Make you think you can't put two Words together right in front of you Yeah, you put in the time Yeah, and another dime But there comes a day when you will find out They don't know what it's all about Don't let em get you Don’t let em get you Don't let em get you anymore They say there will never be a vote Tongue in cheek, knife on throat And if they can you bet they will Keep eating when they had their fill Yeah, they turn around Yeah, a new king has been crowned There comes a day when they shed their skin SongtexteAnd everything you ever coulda been believing in Don't let em get you That's how they get you Don't let em get you anymore They say the bygones are dead and gone From the briefing room of the pentagon They sweep it under the rug, well The carpet ain't magic, it’s covering the hole they dug Yeah, the mountain grows Ski on down in July when it snows There comes a time when you learn There will never be a level ground waiting round for your turn They will get you when you say you're brave And when you feel so all alone (If you get them to answer the phone) Ya string 'em along as long as you can With all the aplomb of a weatherman Keep some quarters in your hand You need supply to keep up with demand Be polite yeah but not too much On your toes for the double dutch And when they're catching their breath You'll be gritting your teeth like you never heard of fearing death And you say you're not gonna stand for it And YOU DON'T BARGAIN WITH A HYPOCRITE There comes a day when the phone will ring And they're gonna want to know if you know anything And they're gonna want to know if you know how to say: DON'T LET 'EM GET YOU DON'T LET 'EM GET YOU DON'T LET 'EM GET YOU ANYMORE Aus Songtexte Mania
