GET PAID
(M. Skoller)
I could be an architect
Or CPA
Maybe I’m a poet
Who knows just what to say
I could be a playboy
Trying to get laid
But the bottom line is
We gotta get paid
(chorus) We all wanna get paid
We all gotta get paid
Don’t be ashamed
You’re not to blame
No don’t be ashamed
We gotta get paid
It’s a natural motivation
An instinct to survive
I could be a guitar man
Trying not to lie
But when it comes to zeros
Don’t play me for a fool
I got to feed myself
Just like you
(chorus)
We all wanna get paid
We all gotta get paid
Don’t be denied
You got to survive
No don’t be denied
Gotta get paid
Bridge:
If you were a gangster
trying to get made
Or just a petty thief
Puttin’ a pistol in my face
It seems more honest
To be mugged out on the street
Than to be jacked–up by Enron
And SBC
(chorus)
We all wanna get paid
We all gotta get paid
Don’t be ashamed
You’re not to blame
No don’t be ashamed
Ya gotta get paid
Ghandi and Mama Theresa
had a hustle can’t be beat (spoken: Can’t beat it!)
They ‘ain’t no more sanctified
Than that woman in the street
Martyrs are survivors
But so are the meek
Ya gotta have a hustle
Look at your priest
(chorus)
All wanna get paid
We all gotta get paid
Don’t be ashamed
You’re not to blame
No don’t be ashamed
Get paid. |
