Rub Me Out

Law is the pencil, the utensil

That you use to draw the line

Identikit for that new outfit

There are many names on that list

And one is mine

How you wish that I wasn't here

There are ways to make me disappear

Turn the page and it's all clear

Rub me out ...

Erase my voice

Reduce my freedom of choice

Keep your finger on the button

So you're ready to delete

So you're ready to delete

So you're ready to delete

So you're ready to delete

So you're ready to delete

I'm no permanent fixture

You can take me out of the picture

You can alter the machine

So the error won't repeat

(So the error won't repeat)

How you wish that I wasn't here

(So the error won't repeat)

There are ways to make me disappear

(So the error won't repeat)

Turn the page and it's all clear

(So the error won't repeat)

Rub me out ...

They must be correct

With whatever they select

I'm the buzz of interference

On your system's cassette

When I've left without a trace

Like a spot on your face

There'll be others to take my place

Other defects

How you wish that I wasn't here

There are ways to make me disappear

Turn the page and it's all clear

Rub me out ...
