Lyrics

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"
