Xtc - Blue Beret lyrics

Life is sometimes shorter than you think So take yourself a hike from the kitchen sink Me, i like to roam Wasn't built in a day And night throws the stars in our way Meanwhile on planet earth Some people are dying for the right to say Some people are dying 'cause the other people busy blowing them away Well, we're all dying so we better have a ton of fun along the way I say hats off, get your hats off, take your hats off, get your hats off For the blue beret Blue beret, blue beret The wind has blown it off his head And sent it spinning straight to nowhere Nowhere to get ahead in this life Life is sometimes longer than you need Especially if it's thrown away on hate and greed Well, me i like to think while the other fish swim But sharks made a meal out of him Meanwhile on bone dry land Some people are dying for the right to say Some people just want the right to say Some people are dying 'cause the other people busy blowing them away Some people are merely blown away Well, we're all dying so we better have a ton of fun along the way I say hats off, take your hats off, get your hats off, take your hats off To the blue beret Blue beret, blue beret The wind has blown it off his head And sent it spinning straight to nowhere Nowhere to get ahead in this life So just love your dog and don't kick your wife Put down that knife, watch out the windows, And blow your hat away
