Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some of us need to gather
And others gonna have to kill
With everybody so preoccupied
Who's gonna pay the bills?
[Verse 2]
If anybody finds a flame
You gotta keep it safe and dry
If anybody goes for coffee with it
Give me a piece of the pie, little piece of the pie
[Verse 3]
And then we gotta try to harvest
Somebody's gonna have to till
And what about a little shelter?
What about a big house on the hill?
[Verse 4]
And who's gonna tend the garden
If the rain forgets to fall?
And who's gonna spend as much as they can
On baby Jesus at the mall?
[Verse 5]
Some of us need to gather
And others gonna have to kill
With everybody so preoccupied
Who's gonna pay the bills?
[Verse 6]
Now we've got ourselves a surplus
Let's put it away for awhile
We'll bring it back if we get hungry
Or just fashionably out of style
[Verse 7]
Who's gonna try to fix this?
Won't somebody please stop the car?
Now who's gonna give me some good news and
Who's gonna take it too far?
[Verse 8]
Come on, let's take it too far
Come on, let's take it too far
Come on, let's take it too far
Come on let's take it too far
Come on let's take it too
[Verse 9]
Some of us need to gather
Others gonna have to kill
With everybody so preoccupied
Who's gonna pay the bills?
[Verse 10]
Some of us need to gather (Some of us need to gather)
Some of us need to kill (Some of us need to gather)
Some of us need to gather (Some of us need to gather)
Who's gonna pay the bills (Come on let's take it too far)
Who's gonna pay the bills?
[Verse 11]
Come on let's take it too far
Come on let's take it too far
