Two Fingers lyrics
Song information
Artist: Jethro Tull Album: War Child
Lyrics
I'll see you at the weighing-in When your life's sum-total's made And you set your wealth in godly deeds Against the sins you've laid And you place your final burden On your hard-pressed next of kin: Send the chamber-pot back down the line To be filled up again And the hard-headed miracle worker Who bathes his hands in blood Will welcome you to the final nod --- And cover you with mud And he'll say, ''you really should make the deal,'' As he offers round the hat ''You'd better lick two fingers clean --- He'll thank you all for that.'' As you slip on the greasy platform And you land upon your back You make a wish and you wipe your nose upon the railway track While the high-strung locomotive With furnace burning bright Lumbers on --- you wave goodbye --- And the sparks fade into night
And as you join the good ship earth And you mingle with the dust --- You'd better leave your underpants With someone you can trust And when the old man with the telescope Cuts the final strand --- You'd better lick two fingers clean Before you shake his hand
