We work hard at our jobs, as we all well know
I'll do my best to make it worth your dime
I smile when I realize
what it means to give me your time
This itch well it can kill you anyway,
but lots of us,
we try and scratch it every second every day
My subject goes by lots of names,
we could call him death
He played lots of silly games
random expressions of hate,
often spoken under his breath
One night while drunk and stoned, he was trying to be a man
He gave a girl a ride home, doin' the best his cloudy mind can
His car got stuck in her driveway, he left it there to walk that day
This itch well it can kill you anyway,
but lots of us,
we try and scratch it every second every day
He sunddenly thought it fun to go inside a stranger's house
tip toe on the god damn floor as quiet as a mouse
the home owner might have a gun
a cautious thought? he didn't have one
This itch well it can kill you anyway,
but lots of us,
we try and scratch it every second every day
The guy in bed, wasn't ready to be dead
a deal was made, a card was played
The cops drove up and did their job
they protect the people that death might rob
Death followed my friend for 20 years
he caused him pain, hell and tears
My friend is strong, like a bamboo reed
he always found the things he'd need
he loved the world , and cried inside
he had to ascend, he always tried
This itch well it can kill you anyway,
but lots of us,
we try and scratch it every second every day
he acted tough, just not enough
he got real scared, his soul was bared
was he good was he bad, was he ready to be a Dad
The kids they came, they played their game
the made my friend, wanna stick around,
he looked for more, of that love he found
This itch well it can kill you anyway,
but lots of us,
we try and scratch it every second every day
Death he saw , this was no game
His play was right, with all his might
he did the best he could that night
he did break in, and wore a grin
he fought a war for 20 yrs
always knew he would win.
This itch well it can kill you anyway,
but lots of us,
we try and scratch it every second every day
