Nightmares, oh nightmares come on now   Getting my days all wrong now   Risen from prison an outlaw   Spending our time in the lion's jaw   In the end you sink or swim, I'm eager, I'm eager      Loving, more loving, come on now   Socially biting your tongue now   Run down, oh run down old houses   Feeding the cats to the mouses      Oh take aim now, oh take aim now   Can you see me in the way now?   Oh take aim now, oh take aim now   Gotta get us out of here      Drop them and give them star prizes   Lock them away in high rises   Held off and called on by truncheons   Rattling keys to the dungeons      Oh take aim now, oh take aim now   Can you see me in the way now?   Oh take aim now, oh take aim now   Gotta get us out of here      Don't take me over   I bid you all farewell, I've got to leave   Tears on my shovel   Switch me off today      Oh take aim now, oh take aim now   Can you see me in the way now?   Oh take aim now, oh take aim now   Gotta get us out of here      Oh take aim now, oh take aim now   Can you see me in the way now?   Oh take aim now, oh take aim now   Gotta get us out of here      Don't take me over   I bid you all farewell, I've got to leave
