Woke up this morning, felt like the dead
Put on some clothes and made my bed
Went to work in the wreckin' yard
Work's so heavy and the day is hard
Big boss man rules with an iron hand
Fear and aggression are his brand
Built his mansion in this space
Just to remind us of our place
It's a dirty job for a minimum wage
My bones are aching I feel my age
Folks look down on my dirty clothes
It's a filthy job now heaven knows
The walls are closing in at night
Aint got no friend in the World anywhere in sight
The load is heavy and the day is hard
Wreckin' in the wreckin' yard
Bossman on his licence plate
Swimming pool, electric gate
Made it on the backs of men
Now he doesn't need to know my name.
Every dog will have its day,
But it's been so black since she went away
Should have seen it coming should have seen it led
To the boss man's arms, to the boss mans bed.
The walls are closing in at night
Ain't got no friend in the World anywhere in sight
The load is heavy and the day is hard
Wreckin' in the wreckin' yard.
Gonna take my gun gonna shoot him down
Gonna drop him cold onto the ground
Take what's his, cause he took what's mine
Heaven knows he's crossed the line
She said I do till death we part
With her body, mind and heart
Gonna hit him heavy, gonna hit him hard
Gonna wreck him in his wreckin' yard
The walls are closing in at night
Ain't got no friend in the World anywhere in sight
All I know is now she's gone
Don't think that I'll be moving on
(Spoken)
The walls are closing in at night
Ain't a friend in the World in sight
The boss man like to mess my day
Someday soon, gonna make him pay
Gonna hit him heavy gonna hit him hard
Wreck him in his wreckin'yard
Wreck him in his wreckin'yard
Gonna wreck him in his wreckin' yard
