Pay Some 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.
Sometimes
When you're fellin' like a winner
Well take a look around
And see what's become of you
You're getting' cocky
And you think you're getting' bigger
But if you ask me boys
You still haven't paid your dues
Pay some dues!!
When I think of all the problems
Built Up in my head
I'm the one you're bringin' down
You gotta pay some dues instead!!
Fame and Fortune
Are exciting propositions
but unfortunately though
Neither will happen for you
Now please excuse me for my lack of discretion
But if you ask me boys
You still haven't paid your dues
Pay some dues!!
When I think of all the problems
Built up in my head
I'm the only one who's coming out on top
You cotta pay your dues instead!!
