I can't complain I've made myself a name

And all I really want is five minutes of fame

Some material wealth and a life in good health

Cos all I really care about is myself

I don't know a single thing about the situation

But why should I care about the next generation

I've got everything I need but I still want more

I can't understand why you complain cos you're poor

I don't feel sorry for you we've got the same possibilities

It's all about taking your own responsibility

I took mine so I deserve what I got

I've got my name on the wall of fame I'm going straight to the top

It cost me a lot of money but I took my degree

And that's the biggest difference between you and me

There's not a thing in the world that my money can't buy

I can't understand why you didn't even try

So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill

And the next generation has to pay the bill

So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill

And the next generation has to pay the bill

You can't blame me because you're underfed

You should be glad that you've got a roof over your head

If you worked for a living you could pay your rent

Instead of begging me for help when all you're money's spent

You won't ever fool me because I know your type

I see you standing on the corner like a parasite

You're a loser and you know it but you don't even care

I can't understand why you say life ain't fair

So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill

And the next generation has to pay the bill

So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill

And the next generation has to pay the bill

Pay the bill pay the bill the next generation has to pay the bill

The next generation has to pay pay the bill

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't complain

I've done everything I can but it's still the same

I've got nothing to lose so why should I give a fuck

My life's a piece of shit and that's where I'm stuck

I never got a fair chance to even prove myself

So tell me why should I be nice to anybody else

You say you can't understand why I say life is a bitch

I can't understand how you can be so rich

So what do you mean we've got the same possibilities

I haven't even got your educational abilities

I dropped out of school before I took me degree

Cos the welfare line made more sense to me

I try to work for a living so I can pay all my debts

And I've come to realize this is as good as it gets

I hate my fucking life more than you hate me

I just can't understand why this is how it should be

So I complain it's still the same

We're standing still while the next generation has to pay the bill

So I complain it's still the same

We're standing still while the next generation has to pay the bill

Pay the bill pay the bill the next generation has to pay, pay the bill
