Ben Sollee - Get Off Your Knees lyrics

rate me

here's a towel for your bleeding heart,

please get off my work

here's a plan for your restless hate,

you ain't no ??

there's a whole lot of gold in the hands

of thieves

there ain't no income,

and get off your knees.

tightening us with expensive roads

children talking at your sleeves.

shaking hands with the closest friends

sided treats with your enemies.

yes, you can cut your head

shine your shoes but you

walk around like you're misplaced

but words you're gonna give

how you're gonna eat

if the farmers don't get paid?!

there's a whole lot of gold in the hands

of thieves

there ain't no income,

and get off your knees.

right or wrong, there's a place for your voice,

protect your equality

you can't save them all and I

can't stop you from tryin,

that's what it means to be free.

over the makers of news are pushin the blues

tryin sell us another cold beer.

of course, I'm outraged 'bout that minimum wage

I can't afford to five the fear

there's a whole lot of gold in the hands

of thieves

there ain't no income,

and get off your knees.

there ain't no income,

and get off your knees

get off your knees

get off your knees
