| So all of you be damned we can't have heaven crammed | |
| Am c d | |
| So winston churchill said i could have smacked his head | |
| Em g g c | |
| And all of those infected waiting to be collected | |
| Am c d | |
| I must get out at any price before the feeling gets too nice | |
| Chorus | |
| Em c g d | |
| Just can't get, just can't get no protection | |
| Em c g d | |
| Just can't get, just can't get no protection | |
| Em c g d g c | |
| Just can't get, just can't get no can't get no protection, | |
| G c g c d | |
| Protection, protection | |
| Every bomb is detonated every switch is thrown | |
| And everybody tells me don't be scared act as if you never cared | |
| So i wear a blank expression to conceal my real impression | |
| Turn off all the information radios just pick up that station | |
| Repeat chorus then em/g am/c which repeats over bridge | |
| So turn off this sound i'm ready to go down | |
| I don't know myself, i don't you either | |
| You're full of disease it's something i discovered | |
| I know you've been mixing with big brother's brother | |
| It ain't the knife in the heart that tears you apart | |
| It's just the thought of someone | |
| It's just the thought of someone | |
| Em em | |
| It's just the thought of someone sticking it in, sticking it in | |
| So if you think that's funny i'm not really laughng honey | |
| Your love letters are confetti i ripped them up my hands were sweaty | |
| And then those ghastly faces recur in nightmare places | |
| Happy hours come and go much too short and much too long | |
| Chorus then this rhythm again em/g am/c | |
| Turn off all the information radios just pick up that station | |
| Protection protection protection | |
| It ain't the knife in the heart that tears you apart | |
| It's just the thought of someone sticking it in | |

| Protection switch it off switch it off switch it off | |
| Protection protection you want to hide? you want to hide? | |
| You want to hide, hide, hide? protection repeat and fade /pre> |
