Lyrics
Rent Is Due
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.
Try your best and make the list of "who's who"
so its likely you'll succeed.
To get the right vocation you need
proper education and degrees.
By the way...! Here's another fee you
gotta pay all the kids have been
enlisted don't look now you're sick
and twisted like them
Right now!
Politely take your freedom
when you say "tell me what to do"
thought dad had all the answers.
Now he's scraping for some food
he's restless and he's weary,
mom is never in the mood...
One step to retiring,
till rent is due. Uh Oh!
Do your part and make your mark
and credit cards will keep you looking sharp.
your mouting debt's a credit check
that's overlooked and better left forgot.
By the way...! Here's another fee you
gotta pay all the kids have been
enlisted don't look now you're sick
and twisted like them
Right now!
Politely take your freedom
when you say "tell me what to do"
thought dad had all the answers.
Now he's scraping for some food
he's restless and he's weary,
mom is never in the mood...
One step to retiring,
till rent is due. Uh Oh!
Go where they go do as you're told
cause they say it's so.
Yeah but you don't know
why the old folks cry when they bitch and moan.
Politely take your freedom
when you say "tell me what to do"
thought dad had all the answers.
Now he's scraping for some food
he's restless and he's weary,
mom is never in the mood...
One step to retiring,
till rent is due. Uh Oh!
