displacement song (edit) - liz green lyrics
pack
the rumor was spreading through town
they were coming in numbers to tear this place down
to the ground
there they come in their twos and their threes
with their guns to the front so you can’t fail to see
can’t stay now you, you’ve got to carry all you can take
for they’re on, they’re on, they’re on the uptake
don’t look to me you’ve got to carry your own weight
for they’re on, they’re on, they’re on their way
so we’re standing in line with our pots and our pans
and the sink if you can
and the children in your one free hand
and many miles later
i’ve worn out my shoes
so the heals are all blistered and hardened and bruised
from the war
you’d better keep up
can’t stay now you, you’ve got to carry all you can take
for they’re on, they’re on, they’re on the uptake
don’t look to me you’ve got to carry your own weight
for they’re on, they’re on, they’re on their way
and i don’t mind the fighting
but all we’ve got are the rocks
and the sticks and the stones
but they don’t break the bones
when they hit
so quieten your voices
and stamp out your fires
we’ll be sleeping by day
and we’ll travel on that night
keep up the good fight
can’t stay now you, you’ve got to carry all you can take
for they’re on, they’re on, they’re on the uptake
don’t look to me, you’ve got to carry your own weight
for they’re on, they’re on, they’re on their way
don’t look to me, you’ve got to carry your own weight
for they’re on, they’re on, they’re on their way
