Draft Daughter's Blues aka 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"
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"
