lyrics

pa-pa please pay me
my pride's put my patience to rest
and passiveness is productive
but prepares me for less
practising purpose pulls me down
and I plead
while people pout for me
pretending that I’m in their need
like they know me
from passing me on the street
parading and fooling around
like a flock of free birds
fortune for me is not value
I know my own worth
I’m sorry I sold myself to a selfish old swine
I guess they just knew
how to sell me the sale of my life
and so they did
they told me a tonne of things
‘til it sounded like truth
when they were done with my time
they decided to set me on the loose
so don’t drag me down
deprived I’ve been drowning in age
tomorrow will come
with the rise of the sun like today
and I'll be the same
parading and fooling around
like a flock of free birds
fortune for me is not value
I know my own worth - I think I do
I constantly come to conclusions
and I compromise
I built up a concrete wall
to knock down to pass the time
and they say I’m on the ball
and its just a shame
it's such a shame
cause you can’t get far on a ball
thats attached to a chain
don’t drag me down
deprived I’ve been drowning in age
tomorrow will come

with the rise of the sun like today
and I'll be the same
parading and fooling around
like a flock of free birds
fortune for me is not value
I know my own worth - I think I do
so if you were gifted with life
then bring a gift to give
cause all you can do
is what you spend your time doing while you
live

she said she couldn't care less
if we slept in the same bed tonight
I guess tainted truth twists us all
and then you buy some delight
so I bought a lie
