We're gonna pay no more rates
To take me away
Gonna beat those people in grey
To keep the policemen away
But here come the people in grey
I'm gonna pass me a brand new resolution
Oh, Lord, those people in grey
They're gonna take me away to, Lord knows only where
But it's making me blue
They're gonna pull up the floors
To take me away
Here come the people in grey
I got no time to pack and I've got nothing to wear
The people in grey
But here come the people in grey
Here come the people in grey
The borough surveyor's used compulsory purchase
Her majesty's government have sent me a form
We're gonna buy me a gun
To take me away
We're gonna live in a tent, we're gonna pay no more rent
My right to voice my complaint
Gonna fight me a one man revolution, someway
To acquire my domain
We're gonna live in a field
People in grey have gone and taken away
To take me away
Here come the people in grey
Gonna start my rebellion today
But I'm so unprepared
Gonna pass me a brand new resolution
Me and my baby gonna get on a train
They're gonna dig up the drains
They're gonna knock down the walls
Don't wanna tell all my secrets to
I gotta get back all those, get back people in grey
Gonna fight me a one man revolution, someway
That's gonna take us away
Here come the people in grey
I must complete it today
