Lyrics
You've got to know
Saving up for the winter,
Holding out for the feast.
Saving up on defenses,
got no time for the weak.
Got no time for your promises,
the time for that has gone by now.
But if you got the time, I'll explain it all to you,
how it's all gonna work out.
Holding him down by the neck,
take all the time that you need.
Only thing I want to know
is guilty as sin.
Sycophants line the corridors these days
Sycophants hold the votes that you praise.
And if they get the time, they'll bend an ear to you -
Oh Lord, back at home it'd be easier than this!
Holding him down by the neck,
take all the time that you need.
Only thing I want to know
is guilty as sin.
Darling, sleep now in faith
that at night I'll watch you,
as I wait for the bombs...
I can't believe all the heels I've got dragging,
I can't believe all the time I've wasted here,
I can't believe all the times I let my guards down for you.
Well history calls, and it starts right here.
Stringing him up by the neck,
take all the time that you need,
Only thing I want to know,
is guilty as sin.
You've got to know
You've got to know
You've got to know
You've got to know.
