Stan Ridgway - Back in flesh lyrics

rate me

Someone smashed my alarm

It's got me on the edge

You know it's so sharp

(Aaaaaaaa...)

And you know I won't go

You know I won't go

I don't wanna go

(He won't go)

The corporation's boiling over

Everybody's taking over

Chorus:

And I'm back in flesh

Back in flesh

Back in flesh

Back in flesh

Back in flesh

You better sign your time card now

They don't care about you anyhow

Sign in, your minimum cut

You're late again, your salary's cut!

Someone smashed my alarm

It's got me on the edge

You know it's so sharp

(Aaaaaaaa...)

And you know I won't go

You know I won't go

I don't wanna go

(He won't go)

The corporation's boiling over

Everybody's taking over

Chorus repeat

I won't go

(He won't go.)

I don't wanna go

(You must go!)

Is it time to go?

(The orders are in!)

Well, I'd rather go bowling!

(The lanes are closed!)

Maybe a little tennis?

(Your racket's got a hole.)

How about some baseball?

(Field's rained out.)

Maybe a little fishing?

(The fish are on vacation.)

Well, how about some golfing?

(The greens are overgrown.)

Well, what about some swimming?

(I don't think so!)

Well, what about this––and that––

(No, no, no, no, no!)

Well, you can't tell me what to do!

Well, you can't tell me what to do!

(Hey, fuck you!)
