Drinking Song From The Home Stretch-Mischief Brew

[00:24.71]It was somewhere in the suburbs of Philadelphia. [00:29.47]A house was gutted, added onto six times its weight. [00:33.54]About a week to go until the move-in date, [00:38.51]And everybody runnin' in a six-day race. [00:42.34]There was bangin', there was buzzin' everybody on their knees. [00:47.61]"Runnin' behind," everyone can agree. [00:51.47]Yet Four O'Clock arrive and someone brought back a case, [00:56.09]And the power went out in the whole damn place. [01:00.84]Property is theft until the thieves are away. [01:04.85]If we did this in a month, we'd be arrested and detained [01:09.11]For draggin' all our brains beyond the barbed-wire chain [01:13.97]And drinkin' on private land. [01:35.82]From the Foreman to the laborers to the migrants to me: [01:40.48]"Stop drop and wrap up, pull up a bucket, have a seat." [01:44.46]Tattered T's and ragged jeans all gathered around, [01:49.03]Finally sayin' somethin' more than, "Move your van, I'm pullin' out." [01:53.40]And there was something all of us had seen: [01:57.44]The owner was a creep, something greedy stuck in his teeth. [02:01.75]You see, anybody that needs a nine-car garage with heat [02:06.54]Ain't never was and never will be no friend to me. [02:10.44]We're singin', "Property is theft until the thieves are away! [02:14.60]If we did this in a month, we'd be arrested and detained [02:19.02]For draggin' all our brains beyond the barbed-wire chain [02:23.32]And drinkin' on private land!" [02:27.78]Well, toss the empties in the garden. [02:41.01]Maybe leave a cap beneath the root as proof that we exist. [03:01.92]Well the Foreman and a painter laugh and they find some solid ground; [03:06.48]Seems they both hail from the same bars, side of tracks and side of town. [03:09.95]You-know-who makes a right and speeds away. [03:18.51]Well I say, "Cheers! With our cold sweaty beers!" [03:27.03]We won't be 'llowed 'round here [03:31.24]When all those gates close, and then security takes the wheel. [03:35.10]But that's another time, and we'll be on another job. [03:40.22]Just don't call me, man, when the joints cracks and your pipes all clog. [03:43.83]I scrape off my watch, and if the boss calls, [03:47.74]I'll say: "We're drinkin' on private land!" [03:55.01]"Property is theft until the thieves are away! [03:58.68]If we did this in a month, we'd be arrested and detained [04:02.90]For draggin' all our brains beyond the barbed-wire chain [04:07.46]And drinkin' on private land!" [04:11.85]"Property is theft until the thieves are away! [04:15.67]If we did this in a month, we'd be arrested and detained [04:20.38]For draggin' all our brains beyond the barbed-wire chain [04:28.07]And drinkin' on private land!"
