Artist  : Graham parker 
Song : Protection
 
Pre>capo at 2 (intro d em g em d
Em	 g	    g	   c
So all of you be damned we can’t have heaven
crammed
Am			   c 	  d
So winston churchill said I could have smacked
his head
Em		 g		 g	  c
And all of those infected waiting to be
collected
Am 			  c		   d
I must get out at any price before the feeling
gets too nice

Chorus
Em		  c		  g	 d
Just can’t get, just can’t get no protection
Em		 c		 g	d
Just can’t get, just can’t get no protection
Em		 c		 g  d		  g	 c
Just can’t get, just can’t get no can’t get no
protection,
G	  c	 g   c   d
Protection, protection

Every bomb is detonated every switch is thrown
And everybody tells me don’t be scared act as if
you never cared
So I wear a blank expression to conceal my real
impression
Turn off all the information radios just pick up
that station

Repeat chorus then em/g am/c which repeats over
bridge

So turn off this sound I’m ready to go down
I don’t know myself, I don’t you either
You’re full of disease it’s something I
discovered
I know you’ve been mixing with big brother’s
brother
It ain’t the knife in the heart that tears you
apart
It’s just the thought of someone
It’s just the thought of someone
Em	    em
It’s just the thought of someone sticking it in,
sticking it in

So if you think that’s funny I’m not really
laughng honey
Your love letters are confetti I ripped them up
my hands were sweaty
And then those ghastly faces recur in nightmare
places
Happy hours come and go much too short and much
too long

Chorus then this rhythm again em/g am/c

Turn off all the information radios just pick up
that station
Protection protection protection
It ain’t the knife in the heart that tears you
apart
It’s just the thought of someone sticking it in
Protection protection switch it off switch it off
switch it off
Protection switch it off switch it off switch it
off
Protection protection you want to hide? you want
to hide? 
You want to hide, hide, hide? protection repeat
and fade /pre>
