Malifest - The Gift

Oh lord!

take me when I’m really ready

I fell, now I’m up again and steady

I was born without a dime

Oh yeah!

the losing card

All I ever had was a body and time

Oh yeah!

the time were hard

Never got a break or rise in pay

Uh uh uh — I was just 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

Ooohhh — don’t go dancing round my grave

Or singing hymns and sad songs

Don’t wanna hear the angels calling

Angels calling

Ooh — I saw it getting better

I saw it in another world

I saw it a better place

Unrest again

Get it out, unrest again

Ooh — I saw it getting better

I saw it in another world

I saw it a better place

Unrest again

Get it out, unrest again

I was born without a dime

Oh yeah!

The losing card

All I ever had was a body and time

Oh yeah!

the time were hard

Oh yeah the weight is gone

Oh yeah the weight is gone

Ooh — I saw it getting better

I saw it in another world

I saw it a better place

Unrest again

Get it out, unrest again

Ooh — 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

Oh Lord take me when I’m really ready
