Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got no time to work, I got no time to play
I got no sane direction to go, stay outta my way
That's what I say
[Chorus]
I'm gonna pay for all I'm buying
Won't you wish me good luck trying, just like some building about to fall?
Ah, haw
[Verse 2]
I ain't got no time to live, I got no time to die
I got no sane direction, blood coming out of my eye
It don't lie
[Chorus]
I'm gonna pay for all you're buying
Won't you wish me good luck trying, just like some building about to fall?
Ah, haw
[Bridge]
Well, I can feel the air is freezing
It's the same way every season
I don't care about any reason for it all
I can find no broken wire
In my old tube amplifier
For my soul, there is no buyer left to call
[Bridge]
Well, I can feel the air is freezing
It's the same way every season
I don't care 'bout any reason for it all
I can find no broken wire
In my old tube amplifier
For my soul, there is no buyer left to call
[Verse 3]
I got no time to work, I got no time to play
I got no sane direction to go, stay outta my way
That's what I say
[Chorus]
I'm gonna pay for all I'm buying
Won't you wish me good luck trying?
Won't you wish me good luck trying, just like some building about to fall?
[Outro]
Lord have mercy
