Lyrics

Come on Mr. Christian

[Verse 1]

Come on Mr. Christian

Hand me the jug

I won't take the boot

For a coward's salute

Not gonna weep now

[Verse 2]

Come on Mr. Christian

Hand me the plug

I've seen better heads

In animal beds

Let's go to sleep now

Better before however

Stereotypes kill time

And you're killing mine

You're killing mine

Come on Mr. Christian

Pity the light

Say goodnight

Tomorrow I shape up

(Or ship out)
