Crass - Dry Weather Lyrics
Is there anyone prepared to tell me why?Tell me why I'm being sucked dry?Oh yes, that is yours and this is mineAs long as the balance is out, that's fineI don't define the terms of the oppressionDo you awake to that dull and grey depression?You ride on meSuck my energyYou take what you want when you want itYou reject any change that I makeYou ask me for more when I've spent itWhen I've given it all, you still takeIs there anyone prepared to tell me why?Tell me why I'm being sucked dry?Oh yes I know the lines you draw are for protectionThe number given for a name is simply for detectionI know I'm only paper in a fileBut couldn't you treat me as a human for a while?You ride on meSuck my energyYou take what you want when you want itYou reject any change that I makeYou ask me for more when I've spent itWhen I've given it all, you still takeIs there anyone prepared to tell me why?Tell me why I'm being sucked dry?You offer your protection, but insist when I declineYou offer independence, but demand I tow the lineYou say you give me freedom, but you hang on to the keyWell don't you think, perhaps, the decision's up to me?You ride on meSuck my energyYou take what you want when you want itYou reject any change that I makeYou ask me for more when I've spent itWhen I've given it all, you still takeIs there anyone prepared to tell me why?Tell me why I'm being sucked dry?So tell me I'm dreaming if I want to liveAnd I'll tell you you're just scheming to make me giveMore than I want to, more than I canYou don't want person, you just want womanYou hide behind logic, secure with your factsYou've a history of time to back up your claimsProtecting the future by filling up the cracksThe might expose the real nature of your gamesYou want woman cos she's children for your systemWell people wither in that living deathYou hide behind your prejudice, afraid of my wisdomAfraid I might question your unquestioned worthYou ride on meSuck my energyYou take what you want when you want itYou reject any change that I makeYou ask me for more when I've spent itWhen I've given it all, you still takeIs there anyone prepared to tell me why?Tell me why I'm being sucked dry?Used as a tool? Treated like a fool?Shat on? Spat on?Totally confused?*****ed up? Mucked up?Totally abused?Pulled about? Fooled about?Treated like a toy?Joked about? Poked about?Something to destroy?Tricked? Kicked?I don't want these games
