Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet
Don't need a bandage, there's too much
Blood after a while, seems to roll right off
[Verse 2]
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
[Verse 3]
Don't need a hand, there's always arms attached
I don't get behind, I can't fall back
Why must we trust all these rusted rails?
They don't want no change we already have
[Verse 4]
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
[Verse 5]
Don't mean to push, but I'm bein' shoved, no
I'm just like you, think we've had enough
I can't believe a thing they want us to do
Oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too
[Verse 6]
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping
They're whipping...
