God's Away On Business
I'd sell your heart to the junk-man baby for a buck, for a buck
If you're looking for someone
To pull you out of that ditch
You're out of luck, you're out of luck
The ship is sinking, the ship is sinking, the ship is sinking
There's a leak, there's a leak In the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones left in charge?
Killers, thieves and Lawyers
God's away, God's away, God's away
On Business, business
God's away, God's away, God's away
On Business, business
Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick It's a job, it's a job
Bloody moon rising with
A plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob
It's all over, it's all over, it's all over
There's a leak, there's a leak
In the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves, and lawyers
God's away, God's away, God's away
On Business, business
God's away, God's away
On Business, business
Goddamn ther's always such A big temptation
To be good, to be good
There's always free cheddar in a mousetrap
Baby It's a deal, it's a deal
God's away, God's away, God's away
On Business, business
God's away, God's away, God's away
On Business, business
I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby
Let her ring, let her ring
God's away, God's away
God's away on Business
Business...
If you're looking for someone
To pull you out of that ditch
You're out of luck, you're out of luck
The ship is sinking, the ship is sinking, the ship is sinking
There's a leak, there's a leak In the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones left in charge?
Killers, thieves and Lawyers
God's away, God's away, God's away
On Business, business
God's away, God's away, God's away
On Business, business
Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick It's a job, it's a job
Bloody moon rising with
A plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob
It's all over, it's all over, it's all over
There's a leak, there's a leak
In the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves, and lawyers
God's away, God's away, God's away
On Business, business
God's away, God's away
On Business, business
Goddamn ther's always such A big temptation
To be good, to be good
There's always free cheddar in a mousetrap
Baby It's a deal, it's a deal
God's away, God's away, God's away
On Business, business
God's away, God's away, God's away
On Business, business
I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby
Let her ring, let her ring
God's away, God's away
God's away on Business
Business...
