Rip It Up Lyrics


Gary Numan Rip It Up


The new law is moving in
Now you see them now you dont
Like a shadow in my diguise
Like a soft machine on ice
Who are you?
Im the man
I am the cure and disease
Who am i?
Im the need
I am the weakness that feeds

Ive got to rip it up
Ive got to tear it down
Ive got to break the word
Ive got to fight for you

Who am I to criticise
Im unsafe at any speed
we can change the world she said
Never changed it never tried
Im cold and hard
But I dont mind
Ive been everything I can be
Ive been sick
And Ive got he screams
These boys dont know when to push

Did you know that I dont run
Did you know that I dont hide
Did you know that I dont sleep
Did you know that I dont care

I am the soft machine
I am the word and the law
I am the new machine
I am your feelings and more
Come inside and play with me
Ill show you things to forget
No-one talks
And no-one leaves
No-one remembers the way

Ive got to fight the man
Ive got to fight the need
Ive got to fight the law
Ive got to fight the word
