Taupin Bernie Friend Of The Flag (Single) Backbone Everyday I've woken up long before the sun Never cared for politics, I've never voted once Worked in clay and molded plates your family's eaten from And I've always needed backbone in everything I've done. Never been a clever man, I've never had my say All I ask is honesty for all the tax I've paid Sown the seed out in the fields and grew the wheat and corn And I've always needed backbone in everything I've done. I've always needed backbone And got along somehow But the pressures of this modern world Test my patience now We're helpless and our hands are tied They've melted down our ploughs And it seems to me that no one needs Our backbone now. Raised my kids and kept my wife the right and proper way Families don't pull together, they pull away Bound the books that you have read and handed your sons And I've always needed backbone in everything I've done. I've always needed backbone And got along somehow But the pressures of this modern world Test my patience now We're helpless and our hands are tied They've melted down our ploughs And it seems to me that no one needs Our backbone now. I was taught that craftsmen Were the backbone of the land But heritage has gone before And no one gives a damn Computers and technology Are built to teach us how And the giant hands of progress boys Have crushed our backbone now. |
