The Cross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said what do you do?
You ain't wearin' a tie,you ain't got a jacket
You can't come in 'cause you're in the wrong bracket
You can shove it
VIP's and royalty get treated like they're special see
But the trick is there for all to see
You can shove it
Girls - we love it
Cars - we love it
More girls - we love it
Late night bars - we love it
Pool - we love it
School - fantasy
What do you do?
You can shove it
You gotta talk,act and dress right
If you ain't got money,they treat ya funny
When they say the class system's dead
If you think that's true better get a new head
You can shove it
You can shove it
You can shove it
Girls - we love it
Cars - we love it
More girls - we love it
Late night bars - we love it
Pool - we love it
School - shove it
What do you do?
Shove it
You can shove it
So why do people scrape and fuss
When everyman's the same as us
It's a joke on all humanity
It's privilege
And we don't need it
War - shove it
Hate - shove it
Politicians - don't cut it
Blind dates - shove it
Girls school - we love it
Crazy rules - shove it
What do you do?
You can shove it
You can shove it
Shove it
