Drinking Song From The Home Stretch
Quelle: Spotify
It was somewhere in the suburbs of Philadelphia
A house was gutted, added onto six times its weight
About a week to go until the move-in date
And everybody runnin' in a six-day race
There was bangin', there was buzzin' everybody on their knees
"Runnin' behind," everyone can agree
Yet Four O'Clock arrive and someone brought back a case
And the power went out in the whole damn place
Property is theft until the thieves are away
If we did this in a month, we'd be arrested and detained
For draggin' all our brains beyond the barbed-wire chain
And drinkin' on private land
From the Foreman to the laborers to the migrants to me:
"Stop drop and wrap up, pull up a bucket, have a seat."
Tattered T's and ragged jeans all gathered around
Finally sayin' somethin' more than, "Move your van, I'm pullin' out."
And there was something all of us had seen:
The owner was a creep, something greedy stuck in his teeth
You see, anybody that needs a nine-car garage with heat
Ain't never was and never will be no friend to me
We're singin', "Property is theft until the thieves are away!
If we did this in a month, we'd be arrested and detained
For draggin' all our brains beyond the barbed-wire chain
And drinkin' on private land!"
Well, toss the empties in the garden
The scapers'll scrape 'em out when they come back to dig in
Maybe leave a cap beneath the root as proof that we exist
Well the Foreman and a painter laugh and they find some solid ground;
Seems they both hail from the same bars, side of tracks and side of town
You know, come to think of it, we'll all make lefts out of the driveway today
You-know-who makes a right and speeds away
Well I say, "Cheers! With our cold sweaty beers!"
We won't be 'llowed 'round here
When all those gates close, and then security takes the wheel
But that's another time, and we'll be on another job
Just don't call me, man, when the joints cracks and your pipes all clog
I scrape off my watch, and if the boss calls
I'll say: "We're drinkin' on private land!"
