The day is already past
and nothing good has been said

The judge has called
The bail is set
You've been so careless and indolent

Somebody has to come by
to keep you always on time
and make you pay for your oversights
oh my, oh my

The damage done to your plans
is now all that you can think about

Ashamed for days, but no regrets
You little shit, you won't get a thing

Somebody has to come by
to keep you always on time
and make you pay for your oversights
oh my, oh my

And maybe it feels like we are leaving you on your knees
But like this rock,
like this song, we aim to please

What light could you have discovered,
so bright no one else could see?
This time, there will be no buffers
No right standing over me

(You say there's a light)
Somebody has to come by
(You say there's a light)
to keep you always on time
(You say there's a light but I cannot see it)
and make you pay for your oversights
oh my, oh my
