You know marrying money is a full time job
I don't need the aggravation
I'm a lazy slob
I hang fire, I hang fire
It's even funnier the way I've always misheard it:
You know my Aryan money is a full-time job
I don't need the aggravation
and my lady's a slob
Well hang fire....
That is a good misinterpretation!
PS, someone explain please what in god's name 'hang fire' is.

I want a real fine car, fly Miami too
All the rum, I want to drink it, all the whiskey too
My woman need a new dress, my daughter got to go to school
I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company
I'm working so hard to keep you in the luxury
You can't call me lazy on a seven day a week
Make a million for the Texans, twenty dollar me
Yes, I want a gold ring, riding in a limousine
I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company
I'm working so hard to keep you in the luxury
Now listen, I'm a proud man, not a beggar walking on the street
I'm working so hard, to keep you from the poverty
I'm working so hard to keep you in the luxury, oh yeah
I'm working so hard, I'm working so hard
Harder, harder, working, working, working
I think it's such a strange thing, giving me concern
Half the world it got nothing the other half got money to burn
My woman need a new dress, my daughter got to go to school
I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company, oh, yeah
I'm working so hard, oh, yeah
Working on a Sunday in refinery
Make a million for the Texans, twenty dollar me
All the rum, I want to drink it, I got responsibility
I'm working so hard to keep you from the poverty, oh, yeah
I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company, oh, yeah
I'm working so hard, oh, yeah
Harder, harder, working, working

The original meaning is that a firearm has failed to fire momentarily after the trigger has been pulled.....might be a split second or as much as 20 seconds before it goes off....in other words, if your gun doesn't go off, don't look down the barrel to see what's going on.........you might still get a face full....
"Oh, my gun seems to have jammed"....It's probably a hang fire....
In the way Mick means...again to do with delay,,,,put off 'til later or never...
"In the sweet old country where I come from, Nobody ever works, Yeah nothing gets done/We hang fire, we hang fire" (we keep putting it off........
