Here Come the People in Grey The Kinks

[Verse 1]
I got a letter this morning with some serious news
That's gone and ruined my day
The borough surveyor's used compulsory purchase
To acquire my domain
They're gonna pull up the floors
They're gonna knock down the walls
They're gonna dig up the drains

[Verse 2]
Here come the people in grey
They're gonna take me away to Lord knows only where
But I'm so unprepared
I got no time to pack and I've got nothing to wear
Here come the people in grey
To take me away

[Verse 3]
Me and my baby gonna get on a train
That's gonna take us away
We're gonna live in a tent
We're gonna pay no more rent
We're gonna pay no more rates
We're gonna live in a field
We're gonna buy me a gun to keep the policemen away
