Lyrics

He won't get off my back He won't get off my back He won't get off my back Doesn't see the hammer coming down He won't get off my back He won't get off my back He won't get off my back Doesn't see the hammer nail his own hand dow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-own I am not the woman that you think I am Oh, I swallow up a mountain and I'm quiet as a clam Saturday and Sunday in the poison air Oh, and every day I work I help to put the poison there, oh He won't get off my back He won't get off my back He won't get off my back Doesn't see the hammer coming down He won't get off my back He won't get off my back He won't get off my back Doesn't see the hammer nail his own hand down I'll tell you 'bout the lie that broke our teeny little town down I'll tell you 'bout the bodies down below the battleground Rented an apartment in the shadow of a house Oh, cruel is just the rule when the cat has got a mouse, oh Froggy went a courtin' and he did ride Never left his home without a pistol by his side He lied, it was a fantasy life He knew he'd have to kill to keep me as his wife Lullaby to sleep in a self-made sound Living in a dream while the whole world drowns Lullaby to sleep in a man-made high Living in a dream while the whole world cries And he won't get off my back He won't get off my back He won't get off my back Doesn't see the hammer coming down He won't get off my back He won't get off my back He won't get off my back Doesn't see the hammer nail his own hand dow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-own
