God's Away on Business lyrics

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 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

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, God's away

On 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.

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..........
