Longarm Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

Let's go 

Wanted: 

Strong and able-bodied worker 

Minimum wage 

Fifty-eight hour week 

An average joe from the grand design 

He breaks his back for big talk 

He pulls up, he pulls down 

He's the one over at the lever that puts the lids on the jars 

Chorus: 

Big talk 

Big talk 

Big talk 

Big talk 

Mister simpson says this business needs a strong arm 

Some new part to clear out all the deadwood 

So be sure and install that new long arm by next week 

'cause that short arm over there is through 

Woah-oh, replace all parts with long arm 

Woah-oh, this business needs a strong arm 

It's big talk 

Chorus: 

Big talk (start to fall in line) 

Big talk (I was watching you) 

Big talk (when efficiency is cut) 

Big talk (better buy more glue) 

Repeat once 

An average joe from the grand design 

He breaks his back for big talk 

He pulls up, he pulls down 

He's the one over at the lever that puts the lids on the jars 

Woah-oh, replace all parts with long arm 

Woah-oh, this business needs a strong arm 

Woah-oh, replace all parts with long arm 

Woah-oh, this business needs a strong arm 

Woah-oh, replace all parts with long arm 

Woah-oh, this business needs a strong arm 

It's big talk
