When the day shift is over
There'll be fear in the pipeline tonight
All the prisoners are restless
Locked up from dusk to daylight
But how can you blame them?
Get pretty close myself sometimes I know the score
I know the feeling Isolation for canteen crimes
Still I gotta keep my shirt on
Gotta wait for the nerves to unwind
Gotta get control again
Gotta let the blood boil in my mind
But you don't take it out on your children Honey,
I won't take my work home tonight
On the weekend I'm gonna have a
good one
Cause I'm back in the hole in the morning light,
yeah
When the schoolboys wish us over He's gonna tell us
The system is wrong And I'll still be working in that cold coba
gate
We've had it easy for too long
Still I'm on my way home now To face up to the rest of my life
Hot water
and a home cooked meal
And send kind regards to my wife
But you don't take it out on your children Honey,
I won't take my
work home tonight
On the weekend I'm gonna have a good one
Cause I'm back in the hole in the morning light,
yeah
