Stan Ridgway - Pile Driver Lyrics
There is a big click clack machineWhose engines don't pump gasolineIt's a poundin' crazy arm that works all dayIt's run by all the people whoHave got some blueprint plan to doSo don't shake your head¨c¨cno, just nod and say "okay"And before I knew it, I got shoved in lineMarchin' south in single file, and countin' off in timeChorus:(so, and) bring that pile driver over here and be quickWe've got to dig a hole right now, so we can put in this stickWe've got a hundred fourty-seven done, we only got a daySo bring that pile driver over here right awayNow here's a big wide open spaceSo wipe that smile right off your faceAnd replace it now with a look of stern regardIt's the early bird that gets the wormSo what happens when the worm will learnIt's the older ways for new we will discardAnd someone sent us this big machine that guaranteesThere'll be no argument at all when we're packin' one of theseChorus repeatBut wait a minuteDid you hear it coughThis crazy armWe can't turn offIt's rollin' roundAnd diggin' down a mileLook out¨c¨cthis big machineHas gone hog wild!So look out, world, we're buildin' nowWhen the hammer hits, the thumb says "ow!"Somewhere you know there's progress madeOne thing's for sure, we'll get our asphalt laidThis big machine has run amuckAnd someone somewhere passed the buckSo keep an ear out for that whistle callAnd duck when you see that wreckin' ballAnd hey, bob, don't light that match, we could explodeI'll move some dirt while you block off the roadChorus repeat until fade
