The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living |
| I need something in my life to straighten me out |
| Let’s rent this shed, we’ll do vocals in the bog |
| Call toast PR tell 'em we’ve opened up shop |
| Campaign meetings at Warner, no coke and not drunk |
| 3 years to make this work, or look a joke and be broke |
| Blag their lawyers like the con with a dog |
| And there’ll be no more straight scores to drop and keep dropping |
| Settle my gross addictions with my net and come |
| Tell my mum over tea that my whole life’s fucking up |
| We’ve got two fifty grand in the budget to go |
| Subtract five for club promo |
| Lose five for a good video and fifteen for a dud video, fuck that |
| It’s the hardest way to make an easy living |
| The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery |
| Mayhem textes me about the press and TV |
| See if I’ve taken any Es |
| So I can get some sleep |
| Nap on the settee, the laptop next to me |
| Wince for my family at the skinner scandal of the week |
| TV pluggers, product managers straight up |
| Club promo needs to step up, help it work |
| Stick to our guns, don’t crack to demands |
| Tell my mum in the car, that the car might have to go back |
| Two hundred and twenty five grand |
| Twenty six grand for a showcase |
| And five more on tour support and support story |
| It’s the hardest way to make an easy living |
| The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery |
| We’ll never get bankrupt if we never have a go |
| This is no ordinary able, I need to flash up my flow |
| Go into Morris stead as well as saville row |
| I want a pin-stripe suit that no man owns |
| Cash in the Kano beat for the silver shadow |
| Send it to warrior for the flash and the glow |
| The safest way to double your money is to fold it in your pocket |
| Tell my mum during breakfast that I got no sleep |
| Eight grand paid in September, April, may and December |
| If this keeps going so well, this is going to be the end of us |
| It’s the hardest way to make an easy living |
| The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery |
| In spread betting it’s easy to draw a small fortune start |
| With a big fortune and lose into a small fortune |
| Haven’t got a clue, we blindly charge on |
| Death threats from a boy of the girl I sarged on |
| She said she didn’t have a bloke, another lesson marked down |
| Verbal agreements aren’t worth the paper they’re marked on |
| Get scans of reviews, we beg to chart up |
| Tell my mum over tea, the press have started up |
| We’ve spent a fortune |
| 'Cause with ghost buying it’s the end for tune |
| We need to sell some records soon |
| It’s the hardest way to make an easy living |
| The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery |
| It’s the hardest way to make an easy living |
| The party stage is a bit nearer to delivery |
