Thin Ice
I say it's the same thin day after day
Alarm clock screams and I'm on my way
It's off to go to work and pay
Monday thru Friday
But I came home late last night
Wondering what my life is for
And I came to the Idea
I don't want to go to work no more
NO I WON'T WORK!
I won't work another day
And I'm not going to do what the bosses say
NO I WON'T WORK!
I'm not gonna work no more
And I threw that alarm clock out the door
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Sittin home watching color TV
The president he come to me
He says that I must fight his wars
I've got to kill the enemy
But I sat home late that night
Wondering what my life is for
And I came to the idea
I'm not gonna fight no fuckin' war
NO I WON'T FIGHT!
I won't fight another day
And I'm not going to do what the generals say
NO I WON'T FIGHT!
I'm not gonna fight no more
And I threw that TV out the door
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
GET UP ON YOUR FEET AND DANCE!
Three men broke down my door
They said they represent the law
A soldier, a sailor, a policeman too
They all tried to tell me what to do
But I wasn't gonna sit back that night
Knowing what my life is for
And I came to the idea
I won't obey their stupid laws
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
GET UP ON YOUR FEET AND DANCE!
Well, I'm not gonna work no more
An' I'm not gonna fight no more
An I'm not gonna obey no laws, work no more, fight no more
All that shit goes out the door
I just won't take it any more
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
You might as well, might as well dance
Walking on thin ice
GET UP ON YOUR FEET AND DANCE!
Lyrics by Ralph Franklin - 1989
