Thirst - Paycheck Lyrics

Monthly subscription that's all you can afford
Now you're paycheque to paycheque
Eyes to floor
You feed them on scraps and you lock the door
That's how you keep the rich rich
And you keep the poor poor

That's how you keep the poor poor

Salute and thank you for your service
We are forever in your debt
But make sure you are always working
One more round for the NHS
There will be no revolution
Nothing to be televised
Hey did you see what they got up to when they were on furlough?
We've got to keep them more tired

Here's an idea I've been sitting on
Right, okay, this will keep them in line
We make it twice as expensive for them to live
Just to keep themselves alive!

That's how you keep the poor poor

Now you're living Paycheque to paycheque
To paycheque to paycheque to paycheque
To paycheque to pay.....

We're back
Normal service is resumed
Forget how important you were
And get back on your knees

They drip feed you in the left arm
And suck the blood out of the right
If they match the pace you never notice the fangs
And they slip off into the night
But now they've started getting greedy
And we start to wonder why
We're all in so much chronic pain
I'm sick and tired all the time
Hey what's the deal with the cloak, man?
And those pointy canines
It's way too late I've sealed my fate
They've already sucked me dry

And now we're Paycheque to Paycheque
To paycheque to paycheque
