Just a Job to Do
Lyrics
Oh use saying that it's alright, it's alright.
Where were you after midnight, midnight.
Heard a Bang, Bang, Bang; Down they go
It's just a job you do
'cause the harder they run, the harder they fall.
I'm coming down hard on you.
No one saw what you looked like, what you looked like
Like a stranger coming out of the night, out of the night
Someone put the word on you, I hope my aim is true.
I got a name, I got a number, I gotta line on you
I got a name, I got a number, I'm coming after you
Don't keep saying that it's alright, it's alright,
It seems you went just a little too far this time
Heard a Bang Bang Bang, and down you go,
It's just a job I do,
'cause the harder you run the harder you fall,
I'm coming down hard on you, hard on you.
I got a name, I got a number, I got a line on you
I got a name, I got a number, I'm coming after you
Keep running, Keep running; city to city
Even if you're innocent,
You can cause too much embarrassment
And though your heart is breaking,
And you know there's no mistaking.
For you feel your life line breaking
Can feel your hands are shaking
No-one answers the telephone
You can never even go home alone
and though your heart is breaking
and you know there's no mistaking.
The footsteps close behind.
Don't pretend that you sleep at night, sleep tight
Can't you feel that the time is right, it's alright.
Heard a Bang Bang Bang, down you go
No-one really cares
'cause the harder you run, the harder you fall.
I'm coming down hard on you.
I got a name, I got a number, I got a line on you
I got a name, I got a number, I'm coming after you
