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
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
There’s leak, there’s 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,
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 there’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…
