Nightmares, oh nightmares come on now
Getting my days all wrong now
Risen from prison an outlaw
Spending our time in the lion's jaw
In the end you sink or swim, I'm eager, I'm eagerLoving, more loving, come on now
Socially biting your tongue now
Run down, oh run down old houses
Feeding the cats to the mousesOh take aim now, oh take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Gotta get us out of hereDrop them and give them star prizes
Lock them away in high rises
Held off and called on by truncheons
Rattling keys to the dungeonsOh take aim now, oh take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Gotta get us out of hereDon't take me over
I bid you all farewell, I've got to leave
Tears on my shovel
Switch me off todayOh take aim now, oh take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Gotta get us out of hereOh take aim now, oh take aim now
Can you see me in the way now?
Oh take aim now, oh take aim now
Gotta get us out of hereDon't take me over
I bid you all farewell, I've got to leave
