Here Come The People In Grey - The Kinks

I got a letter this morning with serious news thats gone and ruined my day,

The borough surveyors used compulsory purchase to acquire my domaine,

Theyre gonna pull up the floors, theyre gonna knock down the walls,

Theyre gonna dig up the drains.

Here come the people in grey theyre gonna take me away to lord knows where,

But Im so unprepared I got no time to pack and I got nothing to wear,

Here come the people in grey,

To take me away.

Me and my babys gonna get on a train thats gonna take us away,

Im gonna live in a tent, were gonna pay no more rent were gonna pay no more

rates,

Were gonna live in a field, were gonna buy me gun, to keep the policemen away.

Im gonna pass me a brand new resolution,

Im gonna fight me a one man revolution, someway,

Gonna beat those people in grey,

But here come the people in grey,

To take me away.

The people in grey have gone and taken away my right to voice my complaint,

Her majestys government have sent me a form I must complete it today.

But its making me blue, dont wanna tell all my secrets to The people in grey.

Im gonna pass me a brand new resolution,

Im gonna fight me a one man revolution, someway,

Gonna start my rebellion today.

But here come the people in grey,

To take me away.

Oh, lord, those people in grey,

I gotta get back at those people in grey,

Here come the people in grey,

To take me away.
