He’ll get you some You don’t have no car? He’ll get you one You don’t have no self-respect, you feel like an insect Well don’t you worry buddy, ’cause here he comes Through the ghettos and the barrio and the bowery and the slum A shadow is cast wherever he stands Stacks of green paper in his red right hand You’ll see him in your nightmares, you’ll see him in your dreams He’ll appear out of nowhere but he ain’t what he seems You’ll see him in your head, on the TV screen And hey buddy, I’m warning you to turn it off He’s a ghost, he’s a god, he’s a man, he’s a guru You’re one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by his red right hand (C)1994 Mute Records, a BMG Company. #NickCave #RedRightHand #PeakyBlinders
