Just A Job To Do

(アルバム： Genesis - 1983)

It's no use saying that it's alright, it's alright
But where were you after midnight, midnight
Heard a bang, bang, bang; down they go
It's just a job you do
'Cause the harder they run, and the harder they fall
I'm coming down hard on you

Now no-one saw what you looked like, what you looked like
Like a stranger you came out of the night, out of the night
'Cause someone put the word on you, and I hope my aim is true

'Cause I got a name, and I got a number, I gotta line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, I'm coming after you

Don't keep saying that it's alright, it's alright
It seems you went just a little too far this time
Heard a bang bang bang, and down you go
It's just a job I do
'Cause the harder you run the harder you fall
I'm coming down hard on you, hard on you I hope my aim is true

I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, and I'm coming after you

Keep running, keep running; city to city
Even if you're innocent
You can cause too much embarrassment
And though your heart is aching
And you know there's no mistaking
'Cause you feel your life line breaking (keep running, keep running)
You can feel your hands are shaking (keep running, keep running)
And no-one answers the telephone
You can never never ever go home alone
And though your heart is aching
And you know there's no mistaking
The footsteps close behind

Now don't pretend that you sleep at night, but sleep tight
And can't you feel that the time is right, it's alright
Heard a bang bang bang, and down you go
Oh no-one really cares
'Cause the harder you run, and the harder you fall
I'm coming down hard on you, hard on you I'm hoping that my aim is true

I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, I'm coming after you

I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, I got a job to do
