XTC — Take This Town

Living in a rabbit tunnel Keep the doggie in her kennel Mustn't let her see the world Oh, no! Don't treat her like that Oh, no! Don't treat her like that Living under Mum and Daddy Carry hope just like a caddie Mustn't let them see you're killed Shout it clear for all to hear You won't shoot this bird down Shout it clear for all to hear We're going to take this town Turn a deaf ear to the orders Keep them as your perfect daughters Mustn't let them know their minds Turning on to only music Breaking from their childhood attic Mustn't let them open the blinds It's time she stopped being your ornament It's time she put that in the past for permanent You can't hold her if she wants to roam around You can't hold her dream and keep it gagged and bound We're going We're going to We're going to take We're going to take this We're going to take this
