Lyrics
wrench is just a household god but I carry mine with pride I don't work but I can work with it to split your smile run you down without a twitch, your car's just not as big as mine tear the son out of your bitch and sprinkle your remains with lime I ain't no working man, I do the best I can, I got the devil's hand rollin' sixes I am the habit man, I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand my afternoon's remote control daydream milk and genocide tranquility with broken knees, silly putty enemies butter knife in your side what I got I got for free, middle finger technology what's yours is mine, yours is mine, told you fucker, yours is mine snake eyes for sissies I ain't no working man, I do the best I can, I got the devil's hand rollin' sixes I am the habit man, I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand I am the pedophile's dream a messianic peter pan just a boy, just a boy, just a little fucking boy, I can never be a man I ain't no working man, I do the best I can, I got the devil's hand rollin' sixes I am the habit man, I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand I ain't no working man, I do the best I can, I got the devil's hand I am the habit man, I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand (oh no, oh no)
Trivia
- The backmasked sampled quote at the beginning of the song ("Killing is killing whether done for duty, profit or fun...") is of Richard Ramirez, often referred to as The Night Stalker, during a jail-house interview.[1]
