Hatchet Man

And wear some gloves tonight
She gonna need a grip
Scrub a dub and love's in line
Until your heartbeats skip

Every time I wasted time on you
Is measured by degrees
But you can win me back
If you copy and paste my legacy

Because there's no such thing as too much fun
You will shit your pants when you see what I've done
You will break into song before you know what to sing
When a human stops being a human it can be anything

I used to be a window washer
Now I'm the emperor of Japan
I used to be a civil servant
Now I'm prince Albert in a can
I used to be hog tied to a life
Where I was running in quicksand
I used to be the informant
Now I'm a hatchet man

And now the lines of demarcation are being drawn
And because of automation all the jobs are gone, gone
Agitate the crime wave and live by the rules of the street
It beats hanging out at the food court watching mall people eat

Live as though you can doubt
Spend some time as something you're not
Liquidate your savings and weaponise
When a human stops being human he is humanised

I used to be a window washer
Now I'm the emperor of Japan
I used to be a civil servant
Now I'm Prince Albert in a can
I used to be hog tied to a life
Where I was running in quicksand
I used to be the informant
Now I'm a hatchet man
Hatchet man

The clock stops
And I know it was a long, long time ago
I'm like a fly, I come and come and come and go
Sitting at the Farmer Jack underneath the pyramid of Faygo
Ooh - give me just to sing my words into you
Ooh - give me just [?] tonight
Ooh
Ooh
