Lyrics
Payback Is a Mother
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.
If you'll take a reprimand
We can break the chain of command
So if you got it coming
Don't you bother running
'Cause there is nowhere to go
You know that I know that you know
It's a little bit too late
Nothing's gonna clean the slate
Don't you bother bumming
The bastards had it coming
Don't you think they'll ever learn?
And it's none of my concern
Close your eyes so tightly
The shit that happens nightly
Here we go again
Payback is a mother
I don't think you'll recover
It's a little bit too late
Nothing's gonna clean the slate
Don't you bother bumming
The bastards had it coming
I know that you know that I know
Payback is a mother
Justice is a brother
And here they come around again
Don't you bother bumming
The bastards had it coming
I know that you know that I know
And I know your number's up, your string is cut
You've been caught in a lie again
You're out of luck, your ass is fucked
You're freaking stuck in the dark again
And I know that you know that I know
And I know that you know that I know
Wooh, oh, wooh, oh, ooh
Wooh, oh, wooh, oh, ooh
Wooh, oh, wooh, oh, ooh
Here it comes around again, wooh, oh, wooh, oh, ooh
Here it comes around again, wooh, oh, wooh, oh, ooh
Here it comes around again, wooh, oh, wooh, oh, ooh
It's a little bit too late
Nothing's gonna clean the slate
Don't you bother bumming
The bastards had it coming
Payback is a mother
Justice is a brother
And here they come around again
Don't you bother bumming
The bastards had it coming
I know that you know that I know
Payback is a mother
Justice is a brother
And here they come around again
Don't you bother bumming
The bastards had it coming
I know that you know that I know
I know that you know that I know
I know that you know that I know
I know that you know that I know
