Draft Daughter's Blues a.k.a. Ootischenia

In spite of everything around me, I

Hit the floor and my feet kept moving, I

Looked forwards and never backwards, I was

Out the door like a rollin' soldier

Impossible to keep a straight line

Too young to keep these bitter hearts

And all around me somebody's singin'

Get back, get back

Long hair comin' down her shoulders

She is tired and feeling so much older

So tear the pages from the family bible: it came

Down upon the women for survival

It came down upon the women for survival

And I wasn't meanin' nothin', nothing at all

You stop me if I get it wrong

I think I'm hearin' somebody sayin'

"I'm gonna spank you 'til you can't sit down"

Burst apart, ah, we lose each other

The constellation of my sisters and brothers

Are spreading all out into the darkness

Goodbye to you in the sadness of this

Goodbye to you in the sadness of this

Goodbye to you in the sadness of this

Impossible to keep a straight line

Too young to keep these bitter hearts

And all around me somebody's singin'

"Get back, get back"
