Do you want to get on in this cowering country now?

Do you want to get on

Or would you be happy just to get by?

The small thoughts of a small town girl

Grew up and wanted to change the world

Will heaven echo back my plea

Or cast it as a curse on me.



Do you want to get on in this beautiful country girl?

Listen hard to what the big folks say

And you'll believe anything

If you believe what they say of this world

From the orcahrd to the foundry

From farms to the city night

Everyone cracks if the price is right

Ideals soon begin to fail

God must know by now

This love is not for sale
