Malifest

[Intro]
Oh, Lord, take me when I'm really ready
I fell, now I'm up again and steady

[Verse 1]
I was born without a dime
Oh, yeah, the losing card
All I ever had was a body and time
Oh, yeah, the times were hard
Never got a break or rise in pay
Uh uh uh, I was just a slave
Working like a dog to my dying day
Uh uh uh, to an early grave

Oh, yeah, the weight is gone
Oh, yeah, the weight is gone
Oh, yeah, the weight is gone
Oh, yeah, the weight is gone

Came along a man with an Union card
Uh uh uh, the times were hard
Standing up proud to face the guards
Uh uh uh, the weight was gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't go dancing 'round my grave
Or singing hymns and sad songs
Don't wanna hear the angels calling, angels calling

[Chorus]
Oh
I saw it getting better
I saw it in another world
I saw it a better place
Unrest again
Get it out, unrest again
Oh
I saw it getting better
I saw it in another world
I saw it a better place
Unrest again
Get it out, unrest again

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I was born without a dime
Oh, yeah, the losing card
All I ever had was a body and time
Oh, yeah, the times were hard
Oh, yeah, the weight is gone
Oh, yeah, the weight is gone

[Chorus]
Oh
I saw it getting better
I saw it in another world
I saw it a better place
Unrest again
Get it out, unrest again
Oh
I saw it getting better
I saw it in another world
I saw it a better place
Unrest again
Get it out, unrest again

(Oh, Lord, take me when I'm really ready
I fell, now I'm up again and steady
I leave for the revolution
Oh Lord, oh Lord)

[Final]
Oh, Lord, take me when I'm really ready
