Verse 1
Five in the morning an hour before dawn, they wake her up in her bed
Standing over her body, and holding a gun to her head
She says "why have you come, oh and what have I done"
They'll tell her "it's come to defeat"
Then they kick through her paintings, and drag her out into the street
Chorus 1
Oh my love, don't take any-more
Oh my love, break down the door
Verse 2
By day they take her, and interiogate her
and tell her "she's crude and insane"
but by night the same keepers, will steal in and rape her aain
She can't see who they are, through the thick black bars
That cast shadows over her eyes
And if she resists, they'll beat hear with fists til she cries
Chorus 2
Oh my love, don't take any-more
Oh my love, break down the door
Oh my love, there's a sun in the east
Its your release
x5
Verse 3
So you the dictator, whose choosen to hate her
tellin' ya to listen to me
There are others who'll fight for the right
to be tender and free
If she dies at your hands, just you understand
I've a knife that is sharp and clean
And i'll paint in your blood, til it turns to a flood
Let her be
Chorus 3
Oh my love, don't take any-more
Oh my love, break down the door
Oh my love, there's a sun in the east
It's your release
