Nice Work (If You Can Get It)

Standing on the Autobahn just outside Stuttgart
I'd been waiting there for hours
The rain was coming down like God was fit to bust
It was him or me
Then a guy pulls up in a brand-new Rover
He's got a PC in the back seat
With a cell-phone, says he's an architect
For some big firm based in Rome

Nice work, if you can get it

I take him out at the next gas station
Mace him on the toilet while he's doing coke
Then break his neck with a Japanese steel whip
That I keep handy for times like these
Leave him sitting on the bowl
With the light shining in his eyes
He's got a weird grin
And a hard-on

Nice work, if you can get it

Back in car, I load the guy's computer
'Course he keeps his passwords on a smart card
Taped under the dash
Money is wasted on the rich
A few hours later I'm in Liechtenstein
Spending his money on a diamond mine
It's been a good day
It's been a good day

Nice work, if you can get it
