Originally written and performed by ska band The Uptones, “Get Out of My Way” is about how even though the narrarator isn’t rich or sober, he will still make it in life, not letting anyone tell him otherwise – especially the rich. This song was the first recorded cover they officially released, not...
Don't want to hurt you or cause any trouble but
Get out of my way, get out of my way!
Trying to dance here, move on the double so
Get out of my way, get out of my way!
Don't want your lies and I don't want your rat race
I don't see any fun in getting fucked up around this place
I paid as much as you
Get out of my way, get out of my way!
Rich kid, rich kid, get out of my hair
Get out of my way, get out of my way!
I'll sing what I'll sing, and I'll wear what I'll wear
Get out of my way, get out of my way!
I try to love mankind and I try to do what's right
But I can't do anything, anything with you standing in my light
Got a uniform all you need is a badge
Get out of my way, get out of my way!
Don't want to hurt you or cause any trouble but
Get out of my way, get out of my way!
Trying to dance here, move on the double so
Get out of my way, get out of my way!
Who do you think you are
Do you think you're some kinda cop?
Why did you come along, you're a fuckin' cop!
Kid get out of my way, kid get out of my way
Kid get out of my way, kid get out of my way
[repeat]
Get out... of my way!
