XTC I Need Protection Lyrics

Oh, I need protection

Nothing is safe and
Nothing is truly sacred
If you want to stay alive
Keep your body from the undertakers

Sing out
Oh, I need protection

Have you ever had a threat?
Have you ever had, stare?
([Unverified], pause to make)
You can see it on TV
From the pleasing safety of your armchair

Sing out Oh, I need protection

When it slap you in the face
Will you take, to consider
(Down, [unverified])
What will you do
When he says to you, stand, deliver

Will you take to your heels
And fight to brazen your features
Yeah, it won't go away
With just one click of your fingers

Sing out
Oh, I need protection
Protection
