MoonBoots - Bills To Pay lyrics

[Verse 1 – 16 bars] Alarm clock rings, and I'm up at the crack of dawn Uniform ready, barely have time to slap it on Got coffee brewing, only buy the cheap sh** Need to leave speedily, only drank three sips On the road, weaving in and out of the five lanes Flying past traffic ‘cause I'm broke and it's Friday Four days down, now my last time punching in For the week, before the weekend, when I'm sleeping in But first gotta pay the rent and the light bill My kid's getting sick so I've gotta buy some Nyquil Gotta fill mouths, so I've gotta buy groceries Getting sick thinking of what life was supposed to be Only dream when my head hits a pillowcase The good life, man, I only want a little taste But no room for that when you've got a nine to five Another year pa**ed? Time's flying by [Chorus] I'm overworked, and there's not much I can do about This job is for survival; don't know what I'd do without it Got no time, got no life I just work day and night Kids ask why, I'm saying “I've got bills I'm paying” [x2] [Break] I get up, I, I, I can I get up, I, I, I can I get up, I, I, I can Got bills, got bills, I've got bills to pay [Verse 2] Running in a rat race, fast paced, chasing cheese Staying hungry, could someone grab the maitre'd? Hate to see others getting trampled Just a sample of what the race does, for example A handful of people get to start in the winners' circle Never trained, felt pain, had their feet purple Steep hurdles keep us farther from the finish line Anyone falling is a meal when it's dinner time In a bind so I stay in a grind mode Mundane routine, do it with my eyes closed Tight rope act, balance budgets and my sanity No net present; peasant on a salary Sad to see us playing in a rigged game Need a big change, not a slim raise to my slim pay f** 2 cents, give them 97 more Running on the wheel only has us headed for saying… [Chorus]
