Lyrics

yea..

They say to hardly know him is to know him well.
He's pushing flowers in the bowers by the wishing well,

He see's you dancing like a monkey in your grandma's shoes,
says "if you can get in the door then you can get out too."

Get your foot down, head down, feet to the floor,
I said "I'll give you five dollars if i had five more."

Get you head straight, back straight, and sharp those clothes;
Drop your sails to the rails cause now two is four.

And never forget what The Clash and Joe Strummer did say,
but the best plans of mice and men often 'glang 'a 'glay

Living like a king but I'm a money slave;
Said "I'll buy you something pretty with the pennies I make."

Now watch your back when the bitches say that they want you,
who needs friends like these with enemies like you.

Get your head down bend down tie your boots
get your gunnin on the money got to pay your dues

Get bent, get back, baby purse those lips
'cause there's money in it honey for your fingertips

and never forget what The Clash and Joe Strummer did say, but the best plans of mice and men often 'glang 'a 'glay

It's a pretty little city it's got northern lights
i see the smiles on their faces with no end in sight.

they keep looking for this lady called the robot linx
she's getting steady for the heavies wearing furs and minks.

get dressed, black socks, touch your toes
have another cigarette, better you blow your nose

get back get ready, for the next great attack
I got the bitches and the hounds and the money sacks.

Never forget what the The Clash and Joe Strummer did say;
but the best plans of mice and men often 'glang 'a 'glay
