Eric Clapton - Stand And Deliver

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 do
Do 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 friends
Magna 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 late
D'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 do
