[Verse 1]
We could live
In a house outside of town
We could build
Our own version of society
Well

[Pre-Chorus]
Time to pay! To pay
Time to pay! To pay
There'd be no one to answer
To and complicate our lives
We could be
The epitome of self-sufficience

[Chorus]
Time to pay! To pay
Time to pay, you've got to pay me
Time to pay, you've got to pay me
Why should I
Why should we pay for your mistake
To carry on

[Verse 2]
Why should we carry on your false integrity
When you've shown us that you
Can't even keep your nest clean
[Pre-Chorus]
Time to pay! To pay
Time to pay! To pay

[Verse 3]
So far we've put financial gain
Ahead of human needs
Quality of our lives
Should be prioritized, yeah

[Chorus]
Time to pay, to pay
Time to pay, you've got to pay me
Time to pay, you've got to pay me
Why should I?
Why, why should we pay for your mistake to carry on?
To carry on?
(Modify your version so we can carry on)
To carry on, to carry on?
(Modify your version so we can carry on)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
To be conclusive, I'd like to say
You've done a super-fine job with your display
I see now that you cannot comprehend
What it means to respect your life and then some
To be rich that would be great
No, but it doesn't mean poo-poo without your nest
So why should I pay for your mistake, man?
Why should I?
[Chorus]
Why, why should we pay for your mistake to carry on?
Why, why should we pay for your mistake to carry on?
To carry on?
(Modify your version so we can carry on)
To carry on, to carry on?
(Modify your version so we can carry on)
