[The Housemartins - Get Up Off Our Knees lyrics]

Famines will be famines
Banquets will be banquets
Some spend winter in a palace
Some spend it in blankets
Don't wag your fingers at them
And turn to walk away
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that
You can shoot today, can shoot today

Ha, ha, ha, ha

Time to end the praying
Listen what they're saying

(Get up off our knees)
You can wag your finger
Till your finger's sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more

(Get up off our knees)
You can wag your finger


Till your finger's sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more

(Get up off our knees)
Oh-ho, get up off our knees

Paupers will be paupers
Bankers will be bankers
Some own pennies in a jar
Some own oil tankers
What may sound like tomorrow
Could be ours today
There's no more need for sorrow if we
Get off our knees to pray
Off our knees to pray

Ha, ha, ha, ha

Time to end the praying
Listen what they're saying

(Get up off our knees)
You can wag your finger
Till your finger's sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more
(Get up off our knees)
You can wag your finger
Till your finger's sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more

(Get up off our knees)
Oh-ho, get up off those knees

Get up off those knees

Countries will be countries
Borders will be borders
Some have lost their folks at war
Some have given orders
Don't wag your fingers at them
And turn to walk away
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that
You can shoot today, can shoot today

Ha, ha, ha, ha

Time to end the praying
Listen what they're saying

(Get up off our knees)
You can wag your finger
Till your finger's sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more
(Get up off our knees)
You can wag your finger
Till your finger's sore
Shake your head till it shakes no more

(Get up off our knees)
Oh-ho, get up off our knees

Get up off our knees get up off our knees
Get up off our knees!
