[A] You get off from [D] work a bit [E] early
[A] The boss doesnt [D] care if you [E] stay
[A] The guard with the [D] key has to [E] check your I.[A]D.
But hed [D] just as soon [E] blow you a[A]way
The cops have stopped 10 miles of traffic
Theyre sorry for all the delay
No need for alarm as theyre waving their arms
But theyd just as soon blow you away
Two pretty blondes in a Porshe
Their bumper says We love LA
They look pretty fair but theyre crazy out there
And theyd just as soon blow you away
You got in some trouble in high school
But you feel like a new man today
You keep to yourself because anyone else
Would just as soon blow you away
Youre standing in from of the teller
Shes counting out all of your pay
Theres twenties and ones, theres guards with their guns
And theyd just as soon blow you away
One old ex-con in station
Fixes flats at the back of the bay
He winks and he jokes, then borrows a smoke
But hed just as soon blow you away
You like the new girl at the hotel
She drops your room key in the tray
No words will pass through the bullet-proof glass
Cause theyd just as soon blow you away
You climb up the stairs every evening
To your room right above the caf
There aint much mystique but you pay every week
Cause theyd just as soon blow you away
And you turn out the light that you read by
You pray that youre one of the few
When youre in with the lord theres just one reward
And theyd just as soon make it come true
The mattress is mildewed and lumpy
But you fall fast asleep where you lay
Under the lump theres a .20 gauge pump
Cause theyd just as soon blow you away
