Eric Clapton - Stand And Deliver lyrics

Stand and deliver You let them put the fear on you Stand and deliver But not a word you heard was true But if there's nothing you can say There may be nothing you can do Do you wanna be a free man Or do you wanna be a slave? Do you wanna be a free man Or do you wanna be a slave? Do you wanna wear these chains Until you're lying in the grave? I don't wanna be a pauper And I don't wanna be a prince I don't wanna be a pauper And I don't wanna be a prince I just wanna do my job Playing the blues for my friends Magna Carta, Bill of Rights The constitution, what's it worth? You know they're gonna grind us down, ah Until it really hurts Is this a sovereign nation Or just a police state? You better look out, people Before it gets too late You wanna be your own driver Or keep on flogging a dead horse? You wanna be your own driver Or keep on flogging a dead horse? Do you wanna make it better Or do you wanna make it worse? Stand and deliver You let them put the fear on you Slow down the river But not a word of it was true If there's nothing you can say There may be nothing you can do Stand and deliver Stand and deliver Dick Turpin wore a mask too
