The Ark - The Red Cap Lyrics

I see you're not wearing
Your red cap anymore
Well, I heard someone say
You thought it was getting too small

Well, I wish I knew how to alter it
But I don't know how to sew
So if you'd like to wear it
Then I guess it's all up to you

Standing with your red cap on the barricades
I didn't like you all that much before
But now since you've stopped wearing it
I dislike you even more

I've heard you've not played the guitar
For fifteen years, soon
Well, it's hard, hard to play the guitar
When it's way outta tune

Well, I wish I knew how to tune it
But I haven't got the ear
So if someone's going to do it
Then it's you again, I fear

Standing playing guitar on the barricades
I didn't like you all that much before
But now since you've stopped playing it
I dislike you even more

I've heard that you're not singing
Songs anymore
But actually I don't believe you when you say
It's 'cause your throat is sore

You better open up your ear
'Cause there's a new song coming in
And if you pick, pick up the tune
Maybe even I will join in

Standing singing songs upon the barricades
I didn't like you all that much before
But now since you've let your dear songs die out
I dislike you even more

Standing with your red cap on the barricades
I didn't like you all that much before
But now since you've stopped wearing it
I dislike you even more

I see you're not wearing your red cap anymore
