Does It Pay
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Does it pay well, does it
does it pay, what does it pay?
every work hard day of the year
kept hidden away, what does it pay
everyday like this, heaven sent with a kiss
don't throw it away, what does it pay?
Does it pay well, does it
does it pay, what does it pay?
every word you say, heard it all before
taken off on us all, you'd better to stay
what does it pay, every work hard day
don't throw it away, don't throw it away
Does it pay well, does it
does it pay, what does it pay?
does it pay to be so cruel,
a single minded, reckless fool
don't throw it away, what does it pay?
every work hard day,
you don't throw it away
Does it pay well, does it
does it pay, what does it pay?
very work hard day
don't throw it away
don't throw it away
