Stand And Deliver
Eric Clapton
[Intro] | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 1] Stand and deliver You’ve let them put the fear on you Stand and deliver But not a word you heard was true And if there’s nothing you can say There may be nothing you can do [Verse 2] Do you wanna be a free man Or do you wanna be a slave? Do you wanna be a free man Or do you wanna be a slave? Do you wanna wear these chains Until you’re lying in the grave? [Verse 3] I don’t wanna be a pauper And I don’t wanna be a prince I don’t wanna be a pauper And I don’t wanna be a prince I just wanna do my job Playing the blues for my friends [Verse 4] Magna Carta Bill of Rights The constitution what’s it worth? You know they’re gonna grind us down ah Until it really hurts Is this a sovereign nation Or just a police state? You better look out people Before it gets too late [Interlude] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 5] You wanna be your own driver Or keep on flogging a dead horse? You wanna be your own driver Or keep on flogging a dead horse? Do you wanna make it better Or do you wanna make it worse? [Verse 6] Stand and deliver You let them put the fear on you Sold down the river But not a word of it was true If there’s nothing you can say There may be nothing you can do [Tag] Stand and deliver Stand and deliver Dick Turpin wore a mask too [Outro] | |
