《How Much Do You Pay》歌词

[00:00:00] How Much Do You Pay (Live) - Oliver Hart

[00:00:48] No one really understands the experience that jades logic

[00:00:52] And paves an agnostic place to lay and decay In toxic waste

[00:00:55] So most carry Identity paraphernalia to familiarize with smiles neatly

[00:00:59] Painted on a robotic face

[00:01:01] But not this man he played the bucket with his hands

[00:01:04] And got paid by whatever change people would drop In his can

[00:01:07] Twenty-three years ago he was a lawyer by description

[00:01:10] But I guess all of a sudden he resigned from that position

[00:01:13] But I've never seen the sky quite as clear as his eyes

[00:01:16] As his blistered fingers beat down on the plastic

[00:01:19] And In a twisted sort of way It all makes sense

[00:01:22] While they rush to die he provides the soundtrack so tragic

[00:01:26] He sits on the corner of 7th and 1st

[00:01:28] And I was thirsty for the answer to a question anyone would nurse

[00:01:32] One day I asked he why he gave up his career

[00:01:35] He said I didn't I just took off the name tag then he added

[00:01:38] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:01:41] It don't matter what name you gave the bucket that you play

[00:01:44] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:01:47] It don't matter what name you gave the bucket that you play

[00:01:50] So I took In what was said but I didn't accept It

[00:01:53] Well maybe I did I mean I just wouldn't admit It

[00:01:56] I was too committed to the belief that all the hard work from now would

[00:02:00] Improve my future existence somehow

[00:02:02] So I said you don't accomplish nothing sitting In the street

[00:02:05] And I'm sure you barely survive off the pennies you gather

[00:02:08] He said to your surprise I make enough to eat

[00:02:11] And I accomplish just as much as you only I stop pretending my job matters

[00:02:15] He looked me In my face and told me I was a puppet

[00:02:18] And what I do Is no more Important than playing a bucket

[00:02:21] I still hear his voice when I set my alarm before bed

[00:02:24] I never could wash what he said out of my head

[00:02:26] So f**k It It goes

[00:02:27] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:02:30] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:02:33] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:02:36] It don't matter what name you gave the bucket that you play

[00:02:39] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:02:42] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:02:45] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:02:48] It don't matter what name you gave the bucket that you play

[00:02:51] See I can dress myself up In a white coat and say I'm a doctor

[00:02:55] Carry a knob on my belt buckle with a gold badge

[00:02:57] And say I'm a copper

[00:02:58] Maybe I'm just a sloppy lazy crazy carbon copy part of the heartlessly

[00:03:01] Deranged nation that gave me the generation ecstasy under water I forgot

[00:03:05] The survivor of the mind washed and slaughtered

[00:03:07] I've watched your offers caught your calls and

[00:03:09] Called your forefathers my bosses lost It all In the name of gaining enough

[00:03:13] To spend consuming the youth since those pray In doom for the hand

[00:03:16] My friends see

[00:03:17] When I saw my man playing away on his drum

[00:03:19] Something clicked In my brain and I became less dumb

[00:03:22] I'm working for bread crumbs

[00:03:24] Pretending there's a meaning

[00:03:25] But my employment Is just a bucket I'm desperately beating

[00:03:28] And one day I'll be old and retired

[00:03:32] Looking at my life like what a waste of good fire

[00:03:35] All because school never taught me how to be Inspired

[00:03:37] And the job concerned applying to myself just wouldn't hire

[00:03:41] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:03:44] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:03:47] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:03:50] It don't matter what name you gave the bucket that you play

[00:03:53] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:03:56] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:03:59] Make money and die that's the American way

[00:04:02] But hey here's my application how much do y'all pay
