Straighten Out

The break of day has come, I see the cracks have just begun

To line the walls, line the walls.

I want to see the little girls and boys destroy their toys

And line the walls, line the walls.

What a fate for little girls,

British boys minds in a whirl,

Tell you things that'll make your curls

Straighten out, straighten out,

Straighten out, straighten out.

I'm twenty years or more, just tell me what we're living for,

So tell me now, tell me now.

Frustrated intellect, the government capitulation

Follows now, follows now.

What a fate for little girls,

British boys minds in a whirl,

Tell you things that'll make your curls

Straighten out, straighten out,

Straighten out, straighten out.

The break of day has come, I see the cracks have just begun

To line the walls, line the walls.

I want to see the little girls and boys destroy their toys

And line the walls, line the walls.

What a fate for little girls,

British boys minds in a whirl,

Tell you things that'll make your curls

Straighten out, straighten out,

Straighten out, straighten out.

Straighten out, straighten out,

Straighten out, straighten out.
