Count Time Songtext
von Wayne Kramer

Count time
Count time, gentlemen
Count time
Count time, gentlemen

But your honor
I was just trying to make a little money here
It was your guy that had the briefcase
Full of hundred-dollar bills
Shit, I was out of work

Count time
Count time, gentlemen

Funky mashed potatoes
And vegetables steamed to death
Salisbury steak swimming in fat
That′s about all you get
Beef porky pie
It's a mystery meat
But you ain′t got no choice
Because a man, he's got to eat


Count time
Count time, gentlemen
Count time
Count time, gentlemen

Prisoners line up

I'm going to take some correspondence courses
Get in some group therapy
Modify my behavior
See can I avoid coming back to this place again
Like Richard Pryor says
They′re giving out time like it′s lunch
No matter how much power they got
They just can't stop that clock
No matter how much power they got
They just can′t stop that clock

Count time
Count time, gentlemen
Count time
Count time, gentlemen
Count time
Count time, gentlemen
Count time
Count time, gentlemen
