Stand and deliverYou let them put the fear on youStand and deliverBut not a word you heard was trueBut if there's nothing you can sayThere may be nothing you can doDo you wanna be a free manOr do you wanna be a slave?Do you wanna be a free manOr do you wanna be a slave?Do you wanna wear these chainsUntil you're lying in the grave?I don't wanna be a pauperAnd I don't wanna be a princeI don't wanna be a pauperAnd I don't wanna be a princeI just wanna do my jobPlaying the blues for my friendsMagna Carta, Bill of RightsThe constitution, what's it worth?You know they're gonna grind us down, ahUntil it really hurtsIs this a sovereign nationOr just a police state?You better look out, peopleBefore it gets too lateD'you wanna be your own driverOr keep on flogging a dead horse?D'you wanna be your own driverOr keep on flogging a dead horse?Do you wanna make it betterOr do you wanna make it worse?Stand and deliverYou let them put the fear on youSold down the riverBut not a word of it was trueIf there's nothing you can sayThere may be nothing you can doStand and deliverStand and deliverDick Turpin wore a mask too
