Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Lyrics for Song: Today's Lesson
 Lyrics for Album: Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! [2008]
 
 
 
 36384>Little Janie, she wakes up from a dream
 
 A gun like a jawbone down the waistband of her jeans
 
 Mr Sandman, he can recite today's lesson in his sleep
 
 He says there oughta be some kind of law against me going down on the street
 
 And little Janie pipes up and she says
 
 She says we're gonna have a real good time tonight
 
 Yeah, tonight
 
 
 
 All right
 
 
 
 Down the back of Janie's jeans she had the jawbone of an ass
 
 Mr Sandman, he runs around the corner
 
 Trying to head her off at the pass
 
 He sticks his head over the fence and yells something way too fast
 
 It's today's lesson, something about the corruption of the working class
 
 
 
 Little Janie walks up on the floor and she says
 
 We're gonna have a real good time tonight
 
 
 
 Come on
 
 
 
 Janie says we're all such a crush of want half-mad with loss
 
 We are violated in our sleep and we weep and we toss and we turn and we burn
 
 We are hypnotised we are cross-eyed we are pimped we are bitched
 
 We are told such monstrous lies
 
 
 
 Janie wakes up and she says
 
 We're gonna have a real good time tonight
 
 
 
 Mr Sandman, he has a certain appetite for Janie in respose
 
 He digs her pretty knees and that she is completely naked underneath all her clothes
 
 He likes to congregate around the intersection of Janie's jeans, yeah
 
 Mr Sandman the inseminator opens her up like a love letter and enters her dreams
 
 
 
 Little Janie wakes up and she says
 
 We're gonna have a real good time tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
 
 We're gonna have a real good time
 
 Come on, come on, come on
 
 We're gonna have a real good time
