Full Time Business

King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson

This is a full time business

This is a full time business

This is a full time business

This is a full time business

Back up the van and jump on the stage

The fans get open cuz it's time to play

The lights are bright all I see is the first row

Without the mic check we still rip the show!

Me a go fight Babylon

Lyrics in a me gun

Hypocrites in a me yard

Me a go shoot dem down

This is a full time business

This is a full time business

This is a full time business

This is a full time business



Conversating with nation breaking segregation

Reporters are supporters of the separation

Lyrics I kick'll stick us in a confrontation

Never slack or stand back, attack, react me g'wan



Me a go fight Babylon

Lyrics in a me gun

Hypocrites in a me yard

Me a go shoot dem down



This is a full time business

This is a full time business

This is a full time business

This is a full time business



At the show it's amazing the things I see

Take a pause look at the people and start trippin'

As you can visualize I act my shoe size at times

Or so they say I'm losin' my mind!

I'm workin' full time

I don't need you to criticize me tonight

I'm workin full time

I need you to give me some lovin' tonight

Me a go fight Babylon

Lyrics in a me gun

Hypocrites in a me yard

Me a go shoot dem down
