We're talkin' about a thick necked man in the city
Build a pub a blood and sweat
Swears by God he'll stand by justice
He aint stood by justice yet
He gets them drunk and gets their money
They cash their welfare checks for stout
Now he throws them into the street
He's sucked you in, he'll spit you out
[CHORUS]
This money-minded S.O.B.
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
The many places he has been
And many more he'll visit yet
Without his mommy's pride & kisses
Without his country's confidence
Without the dying man's permission
Without no guilt or consequence
This bloody-minded S.O.B.
Has not a wound to mend...
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
His face and name are covered in mud
He watches T.V., all star wrestling
Slams a six of ale
Hits his wife, 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
The lyrics THICK NECKED MAN of CRASH TEST DUMMIES is also present in the album The ghosts that haunt me (1991)
I Crash Test Dummies sono una band canadese di folk rock e alternative rock proveniente da Winnipeg, Manitoba. Conosciuti a livello internazionale per il loro singolo del 1993 "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm", hanno raggiunto un grande successo con album come "God Shuffled His Feet" (1994) che ha venduto oltre 10 milioni di copie in tutto il mondo. Il gruppo è caratterizzato dalla voce baritonale e distintiva di Brad Roberts, accompagnata da arrangiamenti musicali spesso semplici ma efficaci. Oltre a "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm", altri brani rappresentativi includono "Afternoons and Coffeespoons" e "Superman's Song".
