Genesis Just a Job to Do song lyrics

No use saying that it's alright, it's alright

Where were you after midnight, midnight?

Heard a bang, bang, bang, and down they go

It's just a job you do

'Cause the harder they run, the harder they fall

I'm coming down hard on you

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, I hope my aim is true

I got a name, I got a number, I gotta line on you

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

Now, 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 and the harder you fall

I'm coming down hard on you, hard on you

I hope my aim is true

I got a name, 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 now your heart is aching

And you know there's no mistaking

'Cause you feel your life line breaking (keep running, keep running)

Can feel your hands are shaking (keep running, keep running)

No one answers the telephone

You can never, never, never go home alone

And now your heart is aching

And you know there's no mistaking

The footsteps close behind

Now, don't pretend that you sleep at night, well, sleep tight

And can't you feel that the time is right? it's alright

With a bang, bang, bang, down you go

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 hope my aim is true

I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you

I got a name, 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
