Last night's claps and filthy slaps need oh no excuse 
Are you cutting out or holding back a loop hole or a noose

Get me out, oh get me out

Cause I'm here to bruise 
          A              A 
Oh get me out, oh get me out

Verse: With main riff 

Just another howling wolf on the killing floor below 
Oh no lie you'll find in the first line I should have quit you long ago 
All those angel eyes with the red neck ties wanna see me fall on my face 
And no lie you'll find I despise everything about this place

Solo 
                A  
And when you're lying in your hotel, 
        A 
Thinking 'good riddance to that' 
     G                                       G 
Well something creeps inside you yeah honey oh something pulls you back 
    A                                          A 
But it ain't the one way system that's got you uh coming back around no 
G                                             G 
It's all those friends and family keeping the size eights on the ground

There's empty cans on River Street, scumbag city blues 
Sunday morning feels complete, 
When I get back to you 
I could skip and give a miss, 
That I'd never choose 
Cause even though I take the piss 
I'm glad the future's blue
