The Levellers — Carry Me lyrics

Lyrics

When you’re standing by the roadside
And it’s a long way to go Ah, to carry me, to carry me, carry me Carry me, friend, oh, to carry me Together in this mad land
Far from truest of hands
Well, I’ll carry you if you’ll carry me, carry me Carry me, friend, oh, carry me And we’ll petrol bomb the state, we’ll blow away the hate
But we’ll do it in our minds if we can take the time
We’ll build ourselves a road, from what we know
Each take our part and now’s the time to start
Oh yeah, take
Oh, it must be Oh, it must be Oh, it must be But Jane’s taking heroin and Paul is getting pissed
Steve is getting stoned, too fucked to fight
Sarah’s on the acid and Sean has blown his mind
Someone’s busy hiding, too fucked to fight
Yeah, some have found religion and some have run away
And some they formed a party to find a way
Yeah, some joined the system, some just look away
And some just bite their backsides to find a way
And there is a way
Yes, there is a way
Yes, there is a way
When you’re standing by the roadside
And it’s a long way to go Well, I’ll carry you if you’ll carry me, carry me Carry me, friend, well, I’ll carry you
