Job Lyrics

Cut off the arms
Cut off the head
Cut off the legs
Get rid of the body
Heartache to heartache
Job to job
Dollar to dollar
Body to body
Pus
Poison
Blood
Shit: get rid of the body
Heartache to heartache
Heartache to heartache

Cover art for Job lyrics by Swans

Different order: "Heartache to heartache, dollar to dollar, body to body, job to job". At least, I think so. Sad even with the expletives and Cop-style backing. Sounds like a drunken dirge sung by several down-on-their-luck Kafkaesque laborers.

It sounds like it's from the perspective of a hitman to me. I agree that it's one of the sadder songs on Cop, especially how they sing/moan/whatever "heartache to heartache."

sounds like the struggle to survive the disgust of menial work to me. throw out the body of another failure and get hired only to blow it again because you can't take it. anyone with a bad job should find this theraputic more than sad. ps. why hide lyrics are in here as well, but it's a seperate song.
