Supertramp

Supertramp are a British rock band formed in 1969 under the name Daddy before renaming themselves in early 1970. Though their music was initially categorised as progressive rock, they have since incorporated a combination of traditional rock and art rock into their music. The band's work is marked by the inventive songwriting of Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, the distinctive voice of Hodgson, and the prominent use of Wurlitzer electric piano and saxophone in their songs. more »

There's a red cloud hanging over us 
And it's so big and it's gonna burst 
All you people with your heads in the ground 
Hey brother, where you bound? 

And they're no good and they're everywhere 
Try to tell you, but you just don't care 
Try to hear you but you don't make a sound 
Hey brother, where you bound? 
Hey brother, where you bound? 

And you don't know what they're gonna do 
And you don't know how they feel 
And you don't know what they're tellin' you 
Is it a lie or is it real 
And the next thing that you know is 
That they walk out on the deal 

And the message that they're giving you 
Is the same old alibi 
If you don't quite see their point of view 
Then they treat you like a spy 
And the phone rings and you disappear 
In the middle of the night 

Can't you see they're on the move 
Don't know what you're trying to prove 
But you sit there oh so cool 
Like they never broke no rules 

And the cat flies and the crow walks 
And the ghost dies and the sow talks 
And they tell us that they'll be good as gold 
Be...'lieve nothing that you're told 
Hey brother, where's your soul? 

Make a move in one direction 
Try to make some compromise 
But they greet you with rejection 
Makin' out you're tellin' lies 
Then they turn around and tell you 
Better get down from the sky 

For the sake of all that's holy 
Listen good to what I say 
I can feel them all around me 
They could be here any day 
But you act like you don't know me 
Why d' you look at me that way 

If there's one thing that is clear 
We gotta get away from here 
We've gotta leave this place 
It's just a hopeless case 
Ain't no one else to blame 
We're gonna lose this game 

Hey brother get off my back 
I gotta tell you, you're way off the track 
They got a hatred deep down inside 
Ain't gonna let them take me alive 

I'm gonna burn them down, just wait and see 
Ain't gonna let them walk over me 
Boy you ain't got no heart and soul 
And your mind is weak and your blood's runnin' cold 

You better move, you better hide 
They're gettin' in, they're gettin' inside 
If you get caught you better know 
They're gonna reap, you're gonna sow 

Don't be a fool, we gotta go 
Ain't no place safe for us to stay 
We better move on, we better move on
