Straighten Out (BBC In Concert 23/04/77)

And the first commandment reads
That human flesh and blood
Is sacred
Until there is no more food
The break of day has come
I see the cracks have just begun
To line the walls
Line the walls
I want to see the little girls and boys
Destroy their toys
And line the walls
Line the walls
What a fate for little girls
British boys' minds in a whirl
Tell you things that’ll make your curls
Straighten out
Straighten out
Straighten out
Straighten out
For twenty years or more
Just tell me what you’re living for
So tell me now
Tell me now
Frustrated intellect
That government capitulation
Follows now
Follows now
What a fate for little girls
British boys' minds in a whirl
Tell you things that’ll make your curls
Straighten out
Straighten out
Straighten out
Straighten out
The break of day has come
I see the cracks have just begun
To line the walls
Line the walls
I want to see the little girls and boys
Destroy their toys
And line the walls
Line the walls
What a fate for little girls
British boys' minds in a whirl
Tell you things that’ll make your curls
Straighten out
Straighten out
Straighten out
Straighten out
Straighten out
