I Pray

Culture Club • From Luxury to Heartache (1986)

When you hear them talking
Saying things that you don't understand
Just you keep on walking
And tell 'em you don't give a damn!

Don't call me brother,
I ain't your brother

I ain't your brother

We need more than crime prevention
We need more than ecstasy
We'll be needing police protection
Better keep your hands off me

And I pray, I pray
I've been on my knees all day
And I pray, I pray
I hear every word you say

Take a look at that cat

It's a game they play with people
Kiss and count the enemy
I don't cry when I feel the tension
I have state security

And I pray, I pray
I've been on my knees all day
And I pray, I pray
I hear every word you say

And I pray, I pray
I've been on my knees all day
And I pray, I pray
I hear every word you say

This ain't a revolution
That's just people talking
Ain't a revolution

I pray
I've been on my knees all day
I pray, I pray
I hear every word you say

I hear every word you say

Say, say it again

If I never get caught I'll be here all night
Doing things I know ain't right
Fifty seven dreams ago
That's the problem if you're slow

And I pray, I pray
I've been on my knees all day
And I pray, I pray
I hear every word you say

I hear every word you say

I ain't your brother

And I pray, I pray
I've been on my knees all day
I pray
I hear every word you say

I ain't your brother
