he was only six years old

when that old killer died

put him down in a great big hole

and I fill it up all the time

see the building rise into the sky

parking meters, traffic cops

you best watch your record, son

they'll come and lock you up

and I've been working all night

I go on into the day

ain't got much money now

got the time ahead

you got the time ahead to pay

smoke and lightning, dressed to kill

and don't talk to strangers

girl take your pill

forty years of sudden death

the acid rain is falling on my head

bush raids on the rise

the doctor's working overtime

too much of a good thing's not enough

stepping stones, building blocks

and I've been working all night

I go on into the day

ain't got much money now

got the time ahead

you got the time ahead to pay

I've been working all night

I go long into the day

ain't got much money

got the time ahead

you got the time ahead to pay

'cause I've been working all night

I go long into the day

ain't got much money

got the time ahead

you got the time ahead to pay
