Paycheck

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.

Consumed by the one's who made her

She's a faker, always let's me down

Dressed up like a capital shaker

Pull the key that judgement let her down

I'll have your guts for garters, just for starters

Don't you make me frown

She could've been a nutter

So I had to cut the mother down

Slacker wasting half is life on sniffing glue

Now he's a foreman working for the red the white and blue

Plain sailing safe surfing

public peeling back stab

Confused by the one's who break her

She's a faker, never makes a sound

Undressed like a soul in prayer

Buy a share, pay her by the pound

I'll have your face for breakfast

I'm in excess need of a stroke down

She could've been a nutter

So I had to cut the mother down

Slacker wasted half is life on speed

Now he's reformed and working for the red the white and blue

Plain sailing shoulder rubbing

Dental flossing back stab

Pay - check

Pay - check

Save the best for later

Be careful not to stain the sheets now

You god damn liar

Take me higher

I never wanted the real thing

I never wanted the real thing

I never wanted the real thing

I never wanted the real thing

I never wanted the real thing

I never wanted the real thing

I never wanted the real thing

Slacker wasted half is life on sniffing glue

Now he's reformed working for the red the white and blue

Plain sailing wife swapping

Stool pigeon back stab

Pay - check

Pay - check

Save the best for later

Be careful not to stain the sheets now

You god damn liar

Pants on fire

Cold loving to pour on me

But this one really takes the piss

It's likely to proquandry

I deserve so much more than this.
