Victim of Hours

Victim of Hours

Music: Graham Guest & Moses Guest
Words: Graham Guest

Move on! Got to move along now
So long! Been so long in this town
Like a blackbird breaking the window
You got to wheel and fly – fly on!
‘Cause I can’t live in the shadow
Of the corporation – hell no!

For the victim of the hours
Ain’t no power in restraint
So I’m climbing up the tower
For to register my complaint
It’s my private revolution
It’s just something that I’ve got to try
Got to worry – in a hurry

Groove on! From that tired old sound
New song! Write a better one down
Got to draw one out of the flowers
And the burning sun – shine on!
‘Cause I can’t live in the shadows
Of anyone – right on!

For the victim of the hours
Ain’t no power in restraint
So I’m climbing up the tower
For to register my complaint
It’s my private revolution
It’s just something that I’ve got to try
Got to worry – in a hurry

And this capital aggravation
It’s the station of my life
So I try to make occasion
For abrasion and for strife
Push into it – looking through it
And it’s just something that has got to die
Got to worry…
