"Ride" lyrics - THE GO-BETWEENS

You stupid man
Can't collect your stupid thoughts
With a pay cheque
Fist to fist your hands shake
Careful to choose the laws you break

You can't say that
It's not allowed
That can't be
I just say
Ride, ride
You ride by me

You stupid man
The blood beast
Has to think to even place his feet
The easy life is easily found
Fat life is dug in the ground

You can't say that
It's not allowed
That can't be done
It's not allowed
I just say
Ride, ride
I really am tired
To ride, ride
You ride by me

Earn a crust
Sleepy head
Dragged down on a reef
Your inner self shall leave you
For someone else
Shall leave you

That can't be done
It's not allowed
I just say
It's just not right, right
You pray for me

To ride, ride
You pray for me
To ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride
