Paying to Play |
| I’ve lived in a van and i’ve lived in a tree |
| Never did what anyone expected of me |
| I ate at soup kitchens and i slept in squats |
| Abandoned buildings and parking lots |
| I borrowed money and played for free |
| Living in america in poverty |
| Pay! |
| paying to play! |
| Pay! |
| paying! |
| paying to play! |
| Pay! |
| paying to play! |
| Pay! |
| paying! |
| paying to play! |
| But a tour or a show was always in the works |
| With coc, the dks, or the circle jerks |
| We would play for beer, for food, and for gas |
| Eating government cheese and trading blood for cash |
| I was always hungry, tense and weird |
| Trench coat, mange, half a beard |
| I slept on park benches and i’ll never forget |
| The cold and rain and all the shit |
| Everyone with money and me with none |
| When you don’t have any, it’s not much fun |
| Pay! |
| paying to play |
| Pay! |
| paying! |
| paying to play! |
| Pay! |
| paying to play! |
| Pay! |
| paying! |
| paying to play! |
