Stiffs Songtext / Lyric

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
