Tom Robinson Band - Getting Tighter lyrics

rate me

Monday morning woke up free

All I wanted was to be me

Smoked a joint that got me high

High as I could be

Passed some straights who screamed "Hey Fag!"

Brought me down, what a drag

Punched a hole in my gay bag

Just could not be me

And it's getting tighter day by day

Nothing getting lighter in any way (x2)

Just could not be free

Just could not be me

Met some machos on my block

They hassled me with macho mock

Cos I ain't no macho rock

Just could not be me

Jocks from Jersey passing by

Threw a rock, I don't know why

I got stoned but I lost my high

Just could not be free

And it's getting tighter day by day

Nothing getting lighter in any way (x2)

Just could not be free

Just could not be me

Tired of acting like a clown

Listen, can't you hear the sound

It's time to put the oppressors down

So we can be free

So I can be me
