Nice Work (If You Can Get It)

Standing on the Autobahn just outside Stuttgart

I'd been waiting there for hours

The rain was coming down like God was fit to bust

It was him or me

Then a guy pulls up in a brand-new Rover

He's got a PC in the back seat

With a cell-phone, says he's an architect

For some big firm based in Rome

Nice work, if you can get it

I take him out at the next gas station

Mace him on the toilet while he's doing coke

Then break his neck with a Japanese steel whip

That I keep handy for times like these

Leave him sitting on the bowl

With the light shining in his eyes

He's got a weird grin

And a hard-on

Nice work, if you can get it

Back in car, I load the guy's computer

'Course he keeps his passwords on a smart card

Taped under the dash

Money is wasted on the rich

A few hours later I'm in Liechtenstein

Spending his money on a diamond mine

It's been a good day

It's been a good day

Nice work, if you can get it
