Pay the Bill |
| I can’t complain I’ve made myself a name |
| And all I really want is five minutes of fame |
| Some material wealth and a life in good health |
| Cos all I really care about is myself |
| I don’t know a single thing about the situation |
| But why should I care about the next generation |
| I’ve got everything I need but I still want more |
| I can’t understand why you complain cos you’re poor |
| I don’t feel sorry for you we’ve got the same possibilities |
| It’s all about taking your own responsibility |
| I took mine so I deserve what I got |
| I’ve got my name on the wall of fame I’m going straight to the top |
| It cost me a lot of money but I took my degree |
| And that’s the biggest difference between you and me |
| There’s not a thing in the world that my money can’t buy |
| I can’t understand why you didn’t even try |
| So why complain I feel no shame I’ve used my skill |
| And the next generation has to pay the bill |
| So why complain I feel no shame I’ve used my skill |
| And the next generation has to pay, pay the bill |
| You can’t blame me because you’re underfed |
| You should be glad that you’ve got a roof over your head |
| If you worked for a living you could pay your rent |
| Instead of begging me for help when all your money’s spent |
| You won’t ever fool me because I know your type |
| I see you standing on the corner like a parasite |
| You’re a loser and you know it but you don’t even care |
| I can’t understand why you say life ain’t fair |
| So why complain I feel no shame I’ve used my skill |
| And the next generation has to pay the bill |
| So why complain I feel no shame I’ve used my skill |
| And the next generation has to pay the bill |
| Pay the bill pay the bill |
| The next generation has to pay the bill |
| The next generation has to pay |
| Pay the bill |
| Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t complain |
| I’ve done everything I can but it’s still the same |
| I’ve got nothing to lose so why should I give a fuck |
| My life’s a piece of shit and that’s where I’m stuck |
| I never got a fair chance to even prove myself |
| So tell me why should I be nice to anybody else |
| You say you can’t understand why I say life is a bitch |
| I can’t understand how you can be so rich |
| So what do you mean we’ve got the same possibilities |
| I haven’t even got your educational abilities |
| I dropped out of school before I took my degree |
| Cos the welfare line made more sense to me |
| I try to work for a living so I can pay all my debts |
| And I’ve come to realize this is as good as it gets |
| I hate my fucking life more than you hate me |
| I just can’t understand why this is how it should be |
| So I complain it’s still the same we’re standing still |
| While the next generation has to pay the bill |
| So I complain and it’s still the same we’re standing still |
| While the next generation has to pay the bill |
| Pay the bill pay the bill |
| The next generation has to pay |
| Pay the bill |
