Lyrics for Song: Don't Get Me Started
Lyrics for Album: Testify
Don't Get Me Started
Don't get me started on politicians
And the lies they spread
Don't even mention sex and religion
And who they take to bed
But if you see me running down the street
Know where I'm running to
I'm tired of honesty being denied us
I'm coming looking for you
Don't hold me down, I'm on my way
And nothing's gonna turn me round
Don't turn around, give it to me straight
I'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me
I'll hold my ground
Wild horses won't make me
Don't get me started on information
Magazines and T.V.
There's one man under his big umbrella
While it's raining on you and me
Everyday it's getting harder to judge
Fiction from fact
I'm tired of truth being denied me
It's mine and I want it back
Don't hold me down, I'm on my way
And nothing's gonna turn me round
Don't turn around, give it to me straight
I'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me
I'll hold my ground
Wild horses won't make me
Business as usual in our pressure steamer
Where reality slips from view
They say that we can' take it
I think I can, can you?
Don't get me started on blood and thunder
With people flying blind
Not caring what or who they take with them
Or what they leave behind
It's one mans god against another
While the river of tears roll by
The things they do in the name of their father
Can someone tell me why
Don't hold me down, I'm on my way
And nothing's gonna turn me round
Don't turn around, give it to me straight
I'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me
I'll hold my ground
Don't get me started

Don't Get Me Started
Phil Collins' "Don't Get Me Started" serves as a dynamic track on the 1985 album Testify, showcasing his evolution from pop to rock. Recorded during a pivotal era in his career, the song features his signature drumming and a driving rhythm that contrasts with the softer ballads often associated with his earlier work. Released alongside hits like "In the Air Tonight," this recording highlights Collins' ability to blend melodic sensibilities with high-energy instrumentation. The track remains a staple of his discography, reflecting the transitional period where he began incorporating more rock-oriented elements into his compositions while maintaining his distinctive vocal style and rhythmic precision. |
