God's Away On Business |
| [Verse 1] |
| I'd sell your heart to the junkman, 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 |
| [Chorus] |
| Ship is sinking |
| The ship is sinking |
| The ship is sinking |
| [Verse 2] |
| 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 |
| [Chorus] |
| God's away, God's away |
| God's away on business, business |
| God's away, God's away |
| God's away on business, business |
| [Verse 3] |
| 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 |
| [Chorus] |
| It's all over |
| It's all over |
| It's all over |
| [Verse 4] |
| And 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 |
| [Chorus] |
| God's away, God's away |
| God's away on business, business |
| God's away, God's away |
| On business, business, ha |
| [Instrumental Bridge] |
| [Verse 5] |
| Goddamn there's always such a big temptation |
| To be good, to be good |
| There's always free cheddar in the mousetrap, baby |
| It's a deal, it's a deal |
| [Chorus] |
| God's away, God's away |
| God's away on business, business |
| God's away, God's away |
| God's away on business, business |
| [Verse 6] |
| I narrow my eyes like a coin slot, baby |
| Let her ring, let her ring |
| [Chorus] |
| God's away, God's away |
| God's away on business |
| God's away, God's away |
| God's away on business, business |
