John Hiatt - Take Off Your Uniform lyrics

Your rating:

You`ve been a good girl, 
You`ve been a bad girl 
You`re not a girl anymore 
Deep in a picture show 
Unbuttoned in the last row 
You watched the grown-ups win the war 
Now that they`ve got you where they want you 
You`re just combin` your hair 
The alteration`s done,but you`re havin` way too much fun 
They want to touch you but you just don`t care 
  
Take off your uniform 
They see what they want to see 
You should have never been born 
You`d better stay with me 
  
Your replacement 
Waits in the basement 
They`ve got her down to your smile 
She writes those letters too 
She thinks she`s better than you 
She says you`re just a foolish child 
They got her smilin` while she`s dialing 
She`s such a clever machine 
She`d fit in anywhere, now that her vision`s impaired 
She listens up, but she don`t know what they mean 
  
Take off your uniform 
They see what they want to see 
You should have never been born 
You`d better stay with me 
  
Everyone`s happy with your daily activities 
They like that tone in your voice 
Now that you`re finally an adult in America 
You`re too dumb to have a choice 
  
Take off your uniform 
They see what they want to see 
You should have never been born 
Take off your uniform 
They see what they want to see 
You should have never been born 
You`d better stay with me
