Been working all week long, got a job to do
Got paid 500 bucks, just like the other two
To pour the gasoline and strike the match
Leave without being seen, Chris Blake Pontiac
I don't ask questions, I don't assume
You'll do the same if you know what's good for you
You pay attention, don't hang around
It's so exciting when it all comes down
Didn't kill nobody, didn't mean no harm
Just making money and having fun
Didn't kill nobody, but I know the score
I just start the fires in the great car dealer war
Big Jim Stephens was the Chevy Giant
Brand-new showroom, million-dollar inventory
A tall beautiful mansion on the lake
From a used-car lot three years before
Things lead to another, then more and more
Hired by the same man I burned out the night before
Didn't kill nobody, didn't mean no harm
In six months time, I burned every damned one
Didn't kill nobody, like I said before
I just start the fires in the great car dealer war
I just start the fires in the great car dealer war
Big Jim Stephens, he ain't no more
Shot down in cold blood on his brand-new showroom floor
Blood on the Corvette for all to see
On the Monte Carlo and the brand new IROC-Z
No need to investigate, they haven't still
Someone took the fall, so I'm sure they never will
I don't ask questions, I don't assume
I just take a long hard look when I walk into a room
Didn't kill nobody, didn't mean no harm
Just making money and having fun
Didn't kill nobody, but I know the score
I am just a soldier in the great car dealer war
Didn't kill nobody, didn't mean no harm
It ain't nothing personal, just a job to be done
Didn't kill nobody, but I know the score
Done my tour of duty in the great car dealer war
Done my tour of duty in the great car dealer war
Done my tour of duty in the great car dealer war
