Back in the Hole

When the day shift is over There'll be fear in the pipeline tonight All the prisoners are restless Locked up from dusk to daylight Well how can you blame them? I get pretty close myself sometimes I know the score, I know the feeling Isolation for canteen crimes Still I gotta keep my shirt on Gotta wait for the nerves to unwind I gotta get control again Gotta let the blood boil in my mind But you don't take it out on your children Honey I won't take my work home tonight On the weekend I'm gonna have a good one 'Cos I'll be back in the hole in the morning light When the schoolboy's witch hunt is over He's gonna tell us that the system is wrong But I'll still be working in the cold Coburg air We've had it too easy for too long I'm on my way home now To face up to the rest of my life Hot water and a home cooked meal And send kind regards to my wife But you don't take it out on your children Honey I won't take my work home tonight On the weekend I'm gonna have a good one 'Cos I'll be back in the hole in the morning light
