The Go-Betweens - Ride lyrics

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
