Lyrics

Stiffs (Live "Bootleg" Version)

The big boss is taking his hand To the pitiful litle man Who now is hardly working And has earned himself a strangling It's enough to bring you to your knees The state of the present company It's not too pretty Oh So he squeezed out the days of his life With something up on a slab of stone This man that lies before us Has worked our fingers down to the bone But he never questioned what he did No, he tried to give us all that he could give Well, I've been up there Just a little stiff Don't try to hide the disappointment We know everyone involved was sad about it You know you don't ever get Out of this kind of debt This nasty business Just a little stiff
