Under their thumb Kicked and beaten like an angry rabid dog Under their thumb Squashed and squeezed like a dried-up, rinsed out worm You can't do a thing Best lie still 'til you wait your turn Can't do a thing Your day will come You're under their thumb Under their thumb And now you feel you're not alone Under their thumb And now you feel the pressure zone You can't do a thing Revenge is sweet but it's sugar free Can't do a thing Your day will come Now you're under their thumb _________________________________________________________ *song originally written by Mick Jagger/Keith Richards *new lyrics by Bob Geldof *from The Boomtown Rats' album entitled "Mondo Bongo"
