Housemartins - Get Up Off Our Knees Lyrics

Send "Get Up Off Our Knees" ringtones to your cell

Famines will be famines, banquets will be banquets 
Some spend winter in a palace, some spend it in blankets 
Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away 
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today 

Time to end the praying 
Listen what they're saying 

Get up off your knees 
You can wag your finger till your finger's sore 
Shake your head till it shakes no more 

Paupers will be paupers, bankers will be bankers 
Some own pennies in a jar, some own oil tankers 
What may sound like tomorrow could be ours today 
There's no more need for sorrow if we get off our knees to pray 

Time to end the praying 
Listen what they're saying 
Get up off your knees 
You can wag your finger till your finger's sore 
Shake your head till it shakes no more 

Countries will be countries, borders will be borders 
Some have lost their folks at war, some have give orders 
Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away 
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today 

Time to end the praying 
Listen what they're saying
