Uniforms (Corp D'esprit) (Album Version) - Pete Townshend Written by:Pete Townsh
I don't matter you don't matter Neither does this mindless clatter It don't matter where you're from what Matters is your uniform
Wear your braces round your seat Doctor Martens on your feet Keep your barnet very neat For credibility on street We are marching as to war We won't be obscure no more In uniform in uniform
I am really living life inside a jar I'm all alone So I feel forgiven if I'm under par a fallen clone Only in the river can I claim a star to call my own I'm newly born
In uniform I'm up on the throne
I am frightened you are frightened Should we get our trousers tightened Where in brighton is your norm Who wears enlightened uniform On my parka is some band I don't really understand Perry is my guiding hand Scooter polo sweeps the land We are marching as to war We won't be obscure no more In uniform in uniform
People think we dress alike to segregate identities Pills or drink or puffing pipes in integrated entities Then they wink and snort their line And say how great their bentley is They feel so warm when they conform
They say that nakedness is what our lord intended
When we stand naked then we all appear the same
But it's just faking it if we all try pretending
Are we just making all our prayers in the rain
Heaven knows I need new clothes
We are marching as to war But we are really fighting for Our uniform our uniform
When I contemplate my future I go numb Ddon't feel a thing I don't' overrate my suitors number one I always sing But the state and their computers make me run for Comfort in my uniform
In uniform I feel like a king
They say that nakedness is what our lord intended When we stand naked then we all appear the same
When I contemplate my future I go numb Ddon't feel a thing I don't' overrate my suitors number one I always sing But the state and their computers make me run for Comfort in my uniform
