Payroll

I've seen ya
Sitting on the fence here
On ya knees
Sucking up the fresh air
Wrapped up
Everything you paid for
Keep quiet
You're doing me an favour
I've seen ya
Looking down the barrel
Full face
With all the lies that you tell
Sweet words are whispered in your ear
Sit down in case you get the fear
You wanna suck it
You better sit down (2x)
You better sit down
You're on the payroll (3x)
I've seen ya
Banging on the same drum
Excusing everything you've become
Sit still
You draw too much attention
Safety is all in the prevention
You wanna suck it
You better sit down (2x)
You're on the payroll (8x)
I've seen ya
Sitting on the fence here
On ya knees
Sucking up the fresh air
Wrapped up
Everything you paid for
Keep quiet
You're doing me an favour
You're on the payroll (8x)
