Hatchet Man - Electric Six

And wear some gloves tonight

She gonna need a grip

Scrub a dub and love’s in line

Until your heartbeats skip

Every time I wasted time on you

Is measured by degrees

But you can win me back

If you copy and paste my legacy

Because there’s no such thing as too much fun

You will shit your pants when you see what I’ve done

You will break into song before you know what to sing

When a human stops being a human it can be anything

I used to be a window washer

Now I’m the emperor of Japan

I used to be a civil servant

Now I’m prince Albert in a can

I used to be hog tied to a life

Where I was running in quicksand

I used to be the informant

Now I’m a hatchet man

And now the lines of demarcation are being drawn

And because of automation all the jobs are gone, gone

Agitate the crime wave and live by the rules of the street

It beats hanging out at the food court watching mall people eat

Live as though you can doubt

Spend some time as something you’re not

Liquidate your savings and weaponise

When a human stops being human he is humanised

I used to be a window washer

Now I’m the emperor of Japan

I used to be a civil servant

Now I’m Prince Albert in a can

I used to be hog tied to a life

Where I was running in quicksand

I used to be the informant

Now I’m a hatchet man

Hatchet man

The clock stops

And I know it was a long, long time ago

I’m like a fly, I come and come and come and go

Sitting at the Farmer Jack underneath the pyramid of Faygo.

Ooh — give me just to sing my words into you

Ooh — give me just tonight

Ooh

Ooh
