Bad Brains
Pay to Cum (1979 version)
I make decisions with precision
Lost inside this manned collision
Just to see that what to be is
Perfectly my fantasy
I came to know with now dismay
That in this world we all must pay
Pay to write, pay to play
Pay to cum, pay to fight
[Post-Verse 1]
And all in time, with just our minds
We soon will find what's left behind
[Verse 2]
Not long ago, when things were slow
We all got by with what we know
The end is near, hearts filled with fear
Don't want to listen to what they hear
And so it's now we choose to fight
To stick up for our bloody right
The right to ring, the right to dance
The right is ours, we'll take the chance
[Post-Verse 2]
At peace together, apiece apart
A piece of wisdom from our hearts
