Lyrics
Put Your Dukes Up, John
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just put your dukes up, John
Yeah, put your dukes up, John
You were preened and sanitised
Struck dumb by good advice
Your integrity was bruised
Your celebrity a ruse
They pulled the rug from under
Made way for new pretenders
Change your tune and change your hair
Or you're not going anywhere
Change your tune and change your hair
Or you're not going anywhere
Be a C-Y-N-I-C
Be a C-Y-N-I-C
The profit margin blinds them
They groomed and ostracised him
His calm makes my blood boil
His calm makes my blood boil
Change your tune and change your hair
Or you're not going anywhere
Change your tune and change your hair
Or you're not going anywhere
Be a C-Y-N-I-C
Be a C-Y-N-I-C
