Chris Whitley Lyrics
"Can't Get Off"

I ain't got no pride in my pants
I ain't got no poise or plans
Hear me out with your hands

It's nothing major, sister
I can't get off
Yeah, nothing major

I ain't got no acid love
Ain't got no problem to solve
I'm doing my best to dissolve

Well, it's nothing major, sister
I can't get off
I can't hang out, sister
I can't get off

I been watching it go by
Well, I been gone so long
[Incomprehensible]

Entertain religion of law
Slave morality and the norm
You know it
I'm doing my best to conform

Well, it's nothing major, sister
I can't get off
It's nothing major, sister
I can't get off

But I been watching it go by
Well, I been gone so long
I want to hear the new word now, now, now

I been watching it
I been watching it go by
I been gone so long
I want to hear the new word now, now
I can't get off
