CHORUS 

Gotta get paid to pay the piper

Pay for my home, my food, my drink

Gotta get paid to pay the piper

Just to give the rest on to the bank

Gotta work a double, just for the trouble

Of being alive, try and understand

That I gotta get paid to pay the piper

Before they bury me under the sand

Gotta get paid

Hey just to be clear
I’m happy that I’m bein’ paid to be here
They say never to fear. That if
you work hard enough all your dreams will appear
They said they’re making money, so why all the lies?
The value of my dollar’s fallen faster than my payrise
I’ve lost the fight so you can hear my lament
On how to do what I love whilst paying the rent

CHORUS

Gotta get paid

“Do what you love” – that’s called a relationship
Well I suppose it’s more of an objectificationship
They say if you do, you won’t work another day in your life
Great advice!
Yet insofar, “what I love” hasn’t paid me much
But I know if I keep at it, I’ll develop a Midas touch.
it’s hard to keep at something whilst you’re still searching for jobs
It’s why I’ve –

CHORUS

Gotta get paid
There's too many ways to find yourself a-wanderin' and wasting your days
A fear of failure feeds into your general malaise
It only takes a spark to set ambition ablaze
I’m lying in bed, but I am not dreaming
My thoughts are all loud, and my brain is teeming
Don’t know why I sing, when I should be screaming
If your bowl’s sitting empty, how can you find meaning?
