Lyrics

My face is slack And the kidneys burn In the small of my back Will never learn Well I'm not going back To the slow life Cos every step is a drag And peace is a kite Of materials you never catch Come up for a snatch Up from hell Once in a while Cause I am Jack From a burning ring My face is slack And I think think think I just think think think Too fast to write Too fast to work Just burn burn burn I sat and drank For three decades I'm 45 Cause I am Jack From a burning ring And my face is slack And I think think think I just drink drink drink Too fast to write Too fast to work I just burn burn burn A store man from the slack They are smart They are (mod) Their brains are half They never end Just follow trends But I am Jack ... And put down left-wing tirades And the musical trades And all free trade I said eat this grenade Cause I am Jack From the burning ring My face is slack And I think think think Just think think think Too fast to work Too fast to write I just burn burn burn And put down left-wing tirades And the musical trades And all free trade I said eat this grenade I said Doncaster eat this grenade
