TOM ROBINSON BAND LYRICS

"Getting Tighter"

Written by Longo/Camacia

Monday morning woke up free
All I wanted was to be me
Smoked a joint that got me high
High as I could be

Passed some straights who screamed "Hey Fag!"
Brought me down, what a drag
Punched a hole in my gay bag
Just could not be me

And it's getting tighter day by day
Nothing getting lighter in any way [x2]
Just could not be free
Just could not be me

Met some machos on my block
They hassled me with macho mock
Cos I ain't no macho rock
Just could not be me

Jocks from Jersey passing by
Threw a rock, I don't know why
I got stoned but I lost my high
Just could not be free

And it's getting tighter day by day
Nothing getting lighter in any way [x2]
Just could not be free
Just could not be me

Tired of acting like a clown
Listen, can't you hear the sound
It's time to put the oppressors down
So we can be free
So I can be me.
