XTC - Knuckle Down lyrics

Knuckle down, love his skin
It doesn't matter what color
Skin he's locked in, knuckle down
Knuckle down and love that skin
Knuckle down, love his race
It doesn't matter if you win
Or lose a little face
Knuckle down and love that race

Because one bright morning
The world might end with a big bang big bang
And you'll never ever get
Yourself another chance
So put aside the hoodoo and
Some of the voodoo
About people being different
They're not so different

Take them by the arms and run to the street
Take a little drum to supply some beat
Soon the whole world will be up on it's feet
And dancing

For my sake, won't you
Put your knuckles down, boys?
Mine, mine for my sake, won't you put
You knuckles down, boys, oys, oys

Knuckle down, love her skin
It doesn't matter what color
Skin she's locked in, knuckle down
Knuckle down and love that skin
Knuckle down, love her race
It doesn't matter if you win
Or lose a little face
Knuckle down and love that race

Be-be-because
One bright morning you just might
Wake when the coin drops coin drops
Even though you think that love
Is such a corny thing
You can burst the bubble
It's full up with trouble
Says that people always got to be a-fighting
Not right

Take them by the arms and run to the fields
Blow on your horn until Jericho yields
Soon the whole world will lay
Down swords and shields for singing

For my sake, won't you
Put your knuckles down, boys?
Mine, mine for my sake
Won't you put your knuckles down?

Take them by the arms and run to the streets
Take a little drum to kick up some beat
Soon the whole world will be up on it's feet
And da da da da da da dancing

For my sake, won't you
Put your knuckles down, boys?
Mine, mine for my sake, won't you
Put your knuckles down, boys?
Mine, mine for my sake
Won't you put your knuckles down?
