Martins Song Songtext
von The Jayhawks

He′s only six years old
That old killer died
Put him down in a great big hole
I fill it up all the time
See the buildings rise up to the sky
Parking meters, traffic cops
You'd best watch your record, son
They′ll come and lock you up

I been working all night
I go long into the day
You got much money now
Got the time ahead
You got the time ahead to pay


Smoke and lightning
Dressed to kill
Don't talk to strangers
Girl, take your pill
Forty years of sudden death
The acid rain is falling on my head
Bush raids on the rise
Doctors working overtime
Too much of a good thing not enough
Stepping stones, building blocks

I been working all night
I go long into the day
You got much money now
Got the time ahead
You got the time ahead to pay

I been working all night
I go long into the day
You got much money now
Got the time ahead
You got the time ahead to pay

'Cause I been working all night
I go along into the day
You got much money
Got the time ahead
You got the time ahead to pay
