When the day shift is over 
There'll be fear in the pipeline tonight 
All the prisoners are restless 
Locked up from dusk to daylight 
 
Well how can you blame them? 
I get pretty close myself sometimes? 
I know the score, I know the feeling 
Isolation for canteen crimes 
 
Still I gotta keep my shirt on 
Gotta wait for the nerves to unwind 
I gotta get control again 
Gotta let the blood boil in my mind 
 
But you don't take it out on your children 
Honey I won't take my work home tonight 
On the weekend I'm gonna have a good one 
'Cos I'll be back in the hole in the morning light 
 
When the schoolboy's witch hunt is over 
He's gonna tell us that the system is wrong 
But I'll still be working in the cold Coburg air 
We've had it too easy for too long 
 
I'm on my way home now 
To face up to the rest of my life 
Hot water and a home cooked meal 
And send kind regards to my wife 
 
But you don't take it out on your children 
Honey I won't take my work home tonight 
On the weekend I'm gonna have a good one 
'Cos I'll be back in the hole in the morning light
