The Levellers
Fight or Flight
Put a price upon your head
And wish that you were dead
Said you'd crossed the line
Far too many times

Took you for a thief
And beggared your beliefs
Said it was your crime
That you couldn't read the signs

They helped you on your way
Helped to give you pain
Took away your sight
There was no fight nor flight

Made your pamper to their whims
They're on the outside, looking in
Didn't help at all
Just stood and watched you fall

Can you help me?
Can you help me?
'Cause I need to understand the truth behind your plan
Can you help me?

Well they pushed you to the brink
Helped to push you in
But didn't reckon on your desires
Your instinct to survive
With the strength that you have found
By standing your own ground
And you ain't gonna run
Despite the damage done

Can you help me?
Can you help me?
'Cause I need to understand the truth behind our plan
Can you help me?

You know there comes a time
When you're running for your life
Your back's against the wall
In your own personal war

And if you want to stay alive
You know you'll have to fight
Against all those deadly things
With a strength that lies within

Can you help me?
Can you help me?

So you stand among the brave
And not just walk away
With the wealth that is a friend
A bad penny not yet spent
Walking side by side
Grateful you're alive
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
