Lyrics
Dues
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.
I think I'm headed for a terrible accident.
Made more plans than anyone who ever paid their rent.
I'm not stupid and I might be havin' too much pride.
Surgeon general has determined that I may as well die.
Jesus are you watching or have you gone blind.
Evil souls are upon us and we're surely runnin' out of time.
CHORUS
I tried religion and some holy roller steals my tenth.
In the grave yard I ain't strong enough to jump the fence.
Some men they say they got more soul than both my shoes.
Makes me wonder can we ever stop payin' dues.
I might be workin' on a scene that I can never act.
Everybody's gonna think that my mind is cracked.
I don't care because it's my right to win or lose.
Makes me wonder can we ever stop payin' dues.
Crazy, am I crazy for wanting so much more.
My mind says I can't ever give up but I still can't be sure.
CHORUS
Can we ever stop payin' dues.
Can we ever stop payin' dues.
Can we ever stop payin' dues.
