Here It Comes Again

Graham Parker


Let's talk about a criminal procedure 
throw out the idea of illegal seizure 
put a rope around somebody's neck 

let's hold some bastard up for example 
take his blood and a urine sample 
feed him garbage and make him pick up the check 

well, here it comes here it comes, here it, 
here, here, here it comes again (twice)

While you were sleeping the neighbors crept in 
saw you were naked and called it a sin 
The next thing you know... it's the next thing you know 

men they poked their heads in your kitchen door 
smelt something burning and they were sure 
it must be the flag you were burning that's what they swore 

well, here it comes here it comes, here it, 
here, here, here it comes again (twice)

They tell you the preacher was hypocritical 
what they don't tell you is that he's typical 
what he stands for is totally mythical

and as they lead him away he'll pray for you brother 
with a bible in one hand and playboy in the other 
imagine what he does to his mother 

well, here it comes here it comes, here it, 
here, here, here it comes again (twice) 

They tell you they wanna give the right to life 
To millions of jerks who will live by the knife 
Who'll beat up their children and beat up their wives 

Now don't write poetry it's an offense 
unless it falls to the right of the fence 
you'll wind up a victim of zero tolerance 

let's hold some bastard up for example take his blood and a urine sample 
remind him that man belongs down a man hole (three times) and then 
ah yeah, get on down.
