Lyrics

(Andy partridge)

Knuckle down
Love his skin
It doesn't matter what colour skin he's locked in
Knuckle down
Knuckle down and love that skin

Knuckle down
Love his race
It doesn't matter if you win or lose a little face
Knuckle down and love that race

One bright morning the world might end with a big bang
And you'll never get yourself another chance
Put aside the hoodoo and some of the voodoo
'Bout people being different
They're not so different

Take them by the arm and run to the street
Take a little drum to supply the beat
Soon the whole world will be up on it's feet and dancing

For my sake
Won't you put your knuckles down, boys?
For my sake
Won't you put you knuckles down?

Love her skin
It doesn't matter what colour skin she's locked in
Knuckle down
Knuckle down and love that skin

Knuckle down
Love her race
It doesn't matter if you win or lose a little face
Knuckle down and love that race

One bright morning you just might wake when the coin drops
Even though you think that love is such a corny thing
You can burst the bubble full up with trouble
Says that people always got to be fighting
(Not right!)

Take them by the arm and run to the fields
Blow on your horn until jericho yields
Soon the whole world will lay down swords and shield for singing

For my sake
Won't you put your knuckles down, boys?
For my sake
Won't you put you knuckles down?
