Headroom lyrics

I need headroom,

Got to have headroom,

Some place to rest my head.

I`m gettin` taller,

Thinkin`s gettin` smaller,

Time is winnin` out instead.



Well, I heard it on the news,

They`re selling everything they can.

And the American flag

Is manufactured in Japan.

They`re fightin` battles in the stars,

They`re pourin` billions into Mars.

And layin` right there at my feet,

There`re people sleepin` in the street.



Give me room, room, room, room, room, room.



Well, I`m livin` on the farm,

Where chemistry has lost its charm.

And every dusty wind that blows,

Is burnin` big holes in my clothes.

They`re burnin` big holes in the sky,

Makin` people wonder why

With all our land and sea and space,

Progress is wreckin` every place.



Give me room, room, room, room, room, room.



Well, if you want an assen-ell,

The government will wish you well,

And if you steal a million bucks,

The government will wish you luck.

And they might even give you more,

If you`re makin` things for war.

But if you`re poor and stealin` cars,

You`ll spend your life behind the bars.



Give me room, room, room, room, room, room.



They`re talkin` ethics on the hill,

They`re talkin` union at the mill,

They`re talkin` justice at the farm,

They`re talkin` safety in the car.

They`re talkin` murder in the states,

They`re talkin` cash to get a fix.

They`re talkin` virus in the bed,

I`m talkin` room to rest my head.



Give me room, room, room, room, room, room.



I need headroom,

Got to have headroom,

Some place to rest my head.
