Howard Jones - Don't Put These Curses On Me

Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't
Don't put these curses on
Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't
Don't put these curses on

Don't curse me with the love of money
It will burn me up and waste my time
Don't curse me with the love of intellect
You know it knots up my brain and makes me think that
you know more than I do

Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't
Don't put these curses on
Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't
Don't put these curses on

Don't curse me with the idea
that work is good and holy
It only took you to the grave with a bitter heart
Don't curse me with this patriotic love
of parents, ideas, country and wife
You invite war into your home

Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't
Don't put these curses on
Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't
Don't put these curses on

Don't put these curses on me oh no you don't
Don't put these curses on
Don't put these curses, these curses on me oh no you don't
Don't put these curses on
