Lyrics A Lifetime to Pay - Horslips

A Lifetime to Pay

So this is your day, look 'round you
You’ve made it at last
The American Way
You’re top of the heap-believe it
Got a place in the sun
And you’re planning to stay
It was tough on the street
It was rough down there making ends meet
Now you’re up on your feet
You can live for today
Just a dollar a day…
And a Iifetime to pay
So this is the life you dreamed of
Don’t worry if it’s not as good as it seemed
You’ve enough on your plate — that’s business;
You know you can buy the American Dream
You’ve worked for it all
Had your back to the wall
Now it’s free for all
The American Way
With a dollar a day…
And a lifetime to pay
