Lyrics

It's four AM
You lie awake
You are afraid what they might take
They do not care
They call it law
You've done your best
Now, you're swallowed raw
You made it well
A family
So full love in reality
They say they care
about society
But whose society?
Now, you tell me!

Chorus:
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
Mind just how you do it
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
Mind just how you do it
Mind just how you do it

They oughta let
the good be good
To understand, then be understood
You really don't
Want enemies
And you don't wanna go
Please, please, please
You wanna get
Back on your feet
Don't want no charity
Don't want to cheat
They say they say they care
'bout the sick and poor
But they just talk and it's such a bore

Chorus:
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
Mind just how you do it
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
Mind just how you do it
Mind just how you do it


I just do a very minor job
I am in the mob
But it is my job (cough, cough)
I'm on the top and give the rules
Give all the rules to all the fools

Chorus:
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
Mind just how you do it
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
You wanna give them a good workin' over
Mind just how you do it
Mind just how you do it
