[Chorus]
I can live off gratitude, be thankful for the things you do
All this great publicity, take all you want, it’s for free
Work real hard and don’t get paid, but save your money, I’m okay
On a special currency, I’m cashing checks at the exposure bank

[Verse 1]
We have so many loyal fans
It’s good to know our future rests in their hands
We all do this for the thrill
Real musicians don’t need much to pay the bills

[Chorus]
I can live off gratitude, be thankful for the things you do
All this great publicity, take all you want, it’s for free
Work real hard and don’t get paid, but save your money, I’m okay
On a special currency, I’m cashing checks at the exposure bank

[Verse 2]
Buying bad music is the worst
Be sure to download every album, piracy comes first
Once you decide that you like it
Get some merchandise and we’ll be supported

[Bridge]
Yeah, pats on the back, yeah, live on the streets
You’re entitled to our music, you did so much to deserve it
Yeah, download a car, yeah, don’t need to eat
I’ll never understand why people say that punk is dead
[Chorus]
I can live off gratitude, be thankful for the things you do
All this great publicity, take all you want, it’s for free
Work real hard and don’t get paid, but save your money, I’m okay
On a special currency, I’m cashing checks at the exposure bank

[Spoken Outro]
"Or you could just get a job and pay for things, but you do you..."
