What Will You Be Building
What will you be building when you have to go?
That is the only thing that I need to know
What slip of the hard hand will close the big show
And what will you be building when you have to go?
There's very few reasons poor people have found
To grow any older is to run with the hounds
And hounds and poor people make money go 'round
And money makes favours and fevers and clowns
So I'll write my name on a big piece of paper
Yeah, I'll write down my secrets, I'll get me an acre
And I'll build me a fortune just to pay for a saviour
And I'll empty my pockets at last to my maker
What will you be building when you have to go?
'Cause that is the only thing that I need to know
What slip of the hard hand will close the big show
And what will you be building when you have to go?
Oo-oo-ooo-oo-oh
That is the only thing that I need to know
What slip of the hard hand will close the big show
And what will you be building when you have to go?
There's very few reasons poor people have found
To grow any older is to run with the hounds
And hounds and poor people make money go 'round
And money makes favours and fevers and clowns
So I'll write my name on a big piece of paper
Yeah, I'll write down my secrets, I'll get me an acre
And I'll build me a fortune just to pay for a saviour
And I'll empty my pockets at last to my maker
What will you be building when you have to go?
'Cause that is the only thing that I need to know
What slip of the hard hand will close the big show
And what will you be building when you have to go?
Oo-oo-ooo-oo-oh
