|
| Bang bang bang, what the fuck can you do?
|
| When the shit that you bought now to pay for it later is up on the shelves in a
|
| Cash Generator. |
| (See ya later alligator!)
|
| What do you get when you borrow their money? |
| You receive a wad of cash as easy
|
| as can be

|
| They’re knocking at your door, more than you bargained for can’t ignore any
|
| more. |

| Make sure you know the score, they can’t enter by force but they trying to
|

| You’re ignorant — They’re coming
|
| for you Barbara…
|
| It’s the
|
| Big bad wolf banging at your door coming up into your realm to settle the score
|
| Pound of flesh nothing less, undertones of violence. |
| If you
|
| Care for your neck don’t gamble it. |
| Playing card games with a loaded deck,

|
| Gonna find yourself up to your neck in a sea of sharks. |
| Reality is stark when
|
| it’s raining stones seven days a week and you’re finding it hard to make ends
|

| pinch and breathe
|
| A sigh of relief

| Mercers knocking down my front door for their charges, who know what they
|
| charge for?
|
| Added to my last one, they pulled a fast one, now he’s pushed past me,
|
| got his foot in the door
|
| Oh fuck! |
| Banging for my buck. |
| Looks like I finally ran out of luck, now he’s
