Frankie Beetlestone - Get Paid Lyrics

Keep on working for your pension
Bite your fingers 'til they bleed
You may snap with all this tension
Strain your back until you're free
Working and sleeping and working and sleeping and working again
Never the less, the combination of greed and complaisance pays for your rent

So god save The King
Charlie's gonna send you a card
But only if you keep working hard

I think you need a break from this life
You're swimming in the deep end
Don't let a single day pass you by
Why you living for the weekend?
Just know that if you're card gets declined
You're gonna have a weight on your mind
So if there's nothing else convincing you to stay
Then you better GET PAID.

Mark is unnervingly polite but very capably violent
That man can wear a smile but secretly he suffers in silence
That lady on the tram has nothing left to lose but her liver
She'll take about a gram of anything her dealer can give her (he deliver)

I've got no patience
No chit chat, save your conversation
Minimum wages, and I'm on hiatus
Touring in my beat up trainers
I don't give a f*ck about your status
Honestly, I've been doing this for ages
Just tell me where the stage is and I'll do my thing

I think you need a break from this life
You're swimming in the deep end
Don't let a single day pass you by
Why you living for the weekend?
Just know that if you're card gets declined
You're gonna have a weight on your mind
So if there's nothing else convincing you to stay
Then you better GET PAID.

I think you need a break from this life
You're swimming in the deep end
Don't let a single day pass you by
Why you living for the weekend?
Just know that if you're card gets declined
You're gonna have a weight on your mind
So if there's nothing else convincing you to stay
Then you better GET PAID.
