Auto da Fé Lyrics Gay Woods

Hey somebody give us something,
Hey somebody give us something,
Don’t make us cop out,
Don’t make us blot out,
Hey somebody give us some.

We’re down and out, we’re down and outs,
We have energy to sell, energy to kill,
No money, no money to buy disco
So we walk, walk, walk till we drop down dead.
We are night hawkers, street walkers-
Laugh little girl your teenage scream-
She looks so queer but she sees your leer,
But don’t forget, don’t forget,
Don’t forget your line leads to here-
Right here babies.

Hey somebody give us something,
Hey somebody give us something,
Don’t make us cop out,
Don’t make us blot out,
Hey somebody give us some.

Listen listen to the newsbroadcasts,
Get off, get off to the Radio Beat,
They are testing, testing, cheating, cheating
Day and night it’s the new witch-hunt.
Trouble and struggle, toil and strife,
I see it as part of this wonderful new life,
Dawn to dawn, I’m still going wrong,
But I’m holding on, I’m holding on,
I’m holding on, still hanging on.……..

It’s like an auto da fé,
It’s like an auto da fé,
It’s like an auto da fé,
It is an auto da fé-
This is your auto da fé-
It’s just an auto da fé-
I won’t do what they say-
I can’t do what they say………

It’s the sweet eighties way-
It’s the sweet eighties way……
