Lyrics
God Fearing Family Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When your race is run, and your day is done
Have you had your fun, or had any?
When the die cast, and you're fading fast
As you breathe your last, are you ready?
Are you waiting for somebody to kiss it better?
You'll have to wait until the date is the twelfth of never
Forever!
Well, you can't take it with you
But that don't stop you trying
You've got it all figured out
'Cos you're a God-fearing family man
When the lines are drawn, and your time has come
And your mind is gone- will you miss it?
When you add the score and you want some more
And the final straw is there isn't
Are you waiting for somebody to kiss it better?
You'll have to wait until the date is the twelfth of never
Forever!
When you look in the mirror
Your face looks quite contented
You're looking cute in the suit
That you bought on a trip to Milan
And you don't really mind
If you could be called self-centred
You've got your eyes on the prize
And you're a God-fearing family man
A God-fearing family man
If money talks, well, yours is shouting
Taxation laws were made for flouting
What can't be bought, it ain't worth having
So keep on grabbing what you can
While you can, 'cos you can
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Are you thinking you're gonna be here forever?
The year'll fade until the date is the twelfth of never
Well, whatever
Well, the world's in a mess but your own's completely ordered
You put it down to the fact that you're a touch of a Heavenly plan
You keep an eye on the neighbours and find that it's all too sordid
Oh yeah, pat yourself on the back 'cos you're a God-fearing family man
A God-fearing family man
God-fearing family man…
