Thick-Necked Man

Crash Test Dummies

The Ghosts That Haunt Me

Talkin' about a thick necked man in the city
Build a pub on blood and sweat
Swears by God he'll stand by justice
He ain't stood by justice yet

Well, he gets them drunk and gets their money
They cash their welfare checks for stout
He throws them into the street
He's sucked you in, he'll spit you out

This money-minded son of a bitch
Will not a penny lend
And all I can do is pray to God
He'll suffer in the end

We're talkin' 'bout thick-necked man in a three-piece
Killing from his office desk
Many places he has been
And many more, he'll visit yet

Well, without his mommy's pride and kisses
Without his country's confidence
Without the dying man's permission
Without no guilt or consequence

This narrow-minded son of a bitch
Has not a wound to mend
And all I can do is pray to God
He'll kill one in the end

Oooh whoa oooh

Now we're talkin' 'bout a thick-necked man in a fist fight
Losing lots of blood
It's not his night, his boss is uptight
And his face and name are covered in mud

Well, he watches TV, all star wrestling
Slams a six of ales
Hits his wife and wrecks the car
And spends the long dark night in jail

Well, the Preacher man, he comes and asks him
Does he know the mess he's in?
He says he'll turn to Jesus if he'll
Bail him out and buy him gin

This narrow-minded son of a bitch
Has not a soul to mend
And all I can do is pray to God
He'll get one in the end

That he'll get one, that he'll get one
That he'll get one, that he'll get one
That he'll get one, that he'll get one
That he'll get one, that he'll get one
Yeah, and all I can do is pray to God
He'll get one in the end
