Back In Flesh Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

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 thisccand thatcc 

(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!)
