Lyrics

So all of you be damned we can't have heaven crammed So winston churchill said I could have smacked his head And all of those infected waiting to be collected I must get out at any price before the feeling gets too nice Just can't get, just can't get no protection Just can't get, just can't get no protection Just can't get, just can't get no can't get no protection, Protection, protection Every bomb is detonated every switch is thrown And everybody tells me don't be scared act as if you never cared So I wear a blank expression to conceal my real impression Turn off all the information radios just pick up that station Just can't get, just can't get no protection Just can't get, just can't get no protection Just can't get, just can't get no can't get no protection, Protection, protection So turn off this sound I'm ready to go down I don't know myself, I don't you either You're full of disease it's something I discovered I know you've been mixing with big brother's brother It ain't the knife in the heart that tears you apart It's just the thought of someone It's just the thought of someone It's just the thought of someone sticking it in, sticking it in So if you think that's funny I'm not really laughing honey Your love letters are confetti I ripped them up my hands were sweaty And then those ghastly faces recur in nightmare places Happy hours come and go much too short and much too long Just can't get, just can't get no protection Just can't get, just can't get no protection Just can't get, just can't get no can't get no protection, Protection, protection Turn off all the information radios just pick up that station Protection protection protection It ain't the knife in the heart that tears you apart It's just the thought of someone sticking it in Protection protection switch it off switch it off switch it off Protection switch it off switch it off switch it off Protection protection you want to hide? you want to hide? You want to hide, hide, hide? Protection protection protection
