Resurrection Man Lyrics – Tale of Two Cities, A

Cruncher (sings)
If i were rid of wife and kid
My life would be my own.

Man#1
He'd never care if he were starving
If he'd none at home.

Cruncher
But selfish ain't my way.

Man #2
And odd-job jobs don't pay

Cruncher
What's wrong if i provide a little on the side
Ta dry a rainy day? When a poor brother dies god almighty surely cries to think that bloke will be of no constructive use right where he lies
But with nerves made of stone i approach the great unknown

Man #1
Turn down the covers of his bed
And resurrect him from the dead

Cruncher
When scientific guys
Need bodies for supplies

All
We'll bet a shiny shilling
Heaven's all too willing
Something should arise


Cruncher
Doctors need certain parts.

Man#1
Bleedin' kidneys...

Man#2
Bleedin' hearts...

Cruncher
And if they only need a small intestine

Man #1 and man #2
They've got jars the rest can rest in

Cruncher
When there's a cure
You'll be thanking me we're sure

All
As long as something gets you in the end me job's secure

Man #1
Say what you will

Man #2
He means no ill

Man #1
He loves the human race

Man #2
But what about some poor dead lout who's out a resting place?

Cruncher
I feel for them poor stiffs.

Man #2
Some people just don't care.

Cruncher
And for some measly tips

Man #1 and #2
He works to ease their boredom

Cruncher
Let 'em get some air

Man #2
Try and lie in a case

Man #1
Bugs and dirt all in your face

Man #1 and #2
A smell so rotten in the air just too monotonous to bear

Cruncher
What i do when i can is to serve my fellow man!
So if you wanna do your part...

Man #1
And if you ain't too faint o' heart!

Man #2
If you want salary increased...

Cruncher
And you deal well with the deceased...

All
A resurrectionist can let his conscience rest in peace!
